Why choose Spaces Therapy for AAPI counseling in Los Angeles
Spaces Therapy is a relational psychotherapy practice based in Highland Park, Los Angeles:
We differentiate ourselves as a practice by our adherence and belief in relationship oriented therapy. While it is true that all therapy is inherently relational, we believe that the safety and relationship between a client and therapist is fundamental to the work itself. This means that above the therapeutic framework (the type of therapy from which a therapist is practicing) a relational therapist works to deepen and create a meaningful relationship with the client. It could be argued that this is important in any type of therapy, but for a relational therapist, having trust and safety in the room is fundamental to allowing the client to experience change. Whether you're in Studio City, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Marina Del Rey, or elsewhere in Los Angeles, Spaces provides both in person therapy and Telehealth services. It can be daunting to reach out for therapy, especially in East Asian and Southeast Asian cultures that stigmatize mental health services, but counseling can provide you with the opportunity to gain insight on intergenerational and family dynamics, feel seen in your experiences, develop tools for managing any mental health symptoms, and become more connected to yourself, your family, and your identity. At Spaces, we strive to have cultural consideration, challenge Euro-centric assumptions, de-pathologize symptoms while honoring you, your family, your culture, and ultimately your story.
Spaces Therapy is a group practice that values empowerment, inclusivity, and sustainability.
