Many difficulties stem from our relationships, with both ourselves and others. My work with men is direct, yet warm, empathetic, & understanding. Together we navigate how to process the blocks obstructing your view & ability to move forward. We will explore life events from the past, as behavior patterns emerge in the here-and-now. As this self-awareness develops, clients can lead more joyful & connected lives. I cater sessions to each unique individual using real-life examples & the material you provide to deepen your own understanding of YOU. Complimentary consultation visit is available to all prospective clients. AJ is employed & supervised by Marina Chatterton, LCSW #26126

Number of Therapists: 5
Offers:  Remote Therapy, Individual Therapy

We believe therapy should be highly tailored to you. We provide individual psychotherapy to adults who believe lasting change is built on a compassionate and trusting relationship with themselves first. Our approach is trauma-informed, culturally inclusive, and identity-affirming. Using traditional talk therapy and IFS (Internal Family Systems), we specialize in trauma recovery and building systems that work with ADHD, addiction, and working through conflicts, anger, and depression.

Our clients describe themselves as creatives, artists, and professionals who are socially conscious, open-minded, neurodiverse, and peacemakers/givers.

I know firsthand how hard it can be to set aside society’s expectations of traditional masculinity and admit that it might be time to ask for help. As men, we are conditioned to try and solve life’s many complexities on our own, but the truth is reaching out for help shows immense strength, not weakness.

Perhaps you found my profile because you are considering therapy, and for that I applaud you. You have taken the first step toward healing and that is an incredible start. Maybe you still feel uncomfortable with the idea of therapy or you found me by accident. In that case, I sincerely look forward to answering your questions about how this could help improve your life as well. Either way, I am glad that you are here.

With clients, I focus on how and where you find meaning in your life in addition to exploring your past and its influence on your present. I have experience in treating anxiety, depression, adjustment to life changes, loss & trauma, and sexual abuse.

From my office in the heart of the Mid-City/Beverly Grove neighborhood of Los Angeles, I offer a kind and straight-forward therapeutic approach to a broad array of clients: from those merely seeking to enrich their day-to-day lives, to those seeking more robust intervention in mitigating harmful thought patterns and behaviors.

Like water carving rocks, we are shaped by our surroundings and where we come from. I grew up in rural Alaska surrounded by a vast expanse of towering mountains and large glacial rivers. I worked for many years as a wilderness guide, experiential educator and wilderness therapist. Dramatic seasonal changes in light, temperature, and landscape taught me that stillness exists within the extremes. I work from a perspective that combines modern neuroscience, interpersonal neurobiology, internal family systems, eco therapy and eastern mysticism. Among other things I am a father, carpenter, adventurer and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapist (KAP). Please feel free to reach out for a free 15 min consultation through my website.

I provide individual and group therapy for men in their 20s-50s who have done therapy before and are looking to go deeper.  As an individual therapist, I like to be actively involved and give feedback about what I’m noticing in the here-and-now.  This gives us a portal into understanding how you get tripped up and where you can lean into a fuller, deeper way of living. My men’s groups are long-term process groups that primarily focus on relationships between members.  Group is all about practicing direct, authentic contact and exploring your blocks to getting closer with others.

I HELP MILLENNIAL AND GEN X PROFESSIONALS CONSCIOUSLY GET WHAT THEY WANT (IN LIFE AND RELATIONSHIPS). Life is overwhelming. Between work, relationships, and technology calling for your attention at every moment, it’s extremely difficult to remain calm and grounded. We can lose our sense of purpose and passion.

Unlike other therapists who merely sit and listen, I take an active and engaged approach. You may find yourself in a guided meditation or a role-play exercise. There may be optional homework assignments. We’ll tune into exactly what you need. I’m here to support you to find your unique, confident voice.
