Los Angeles Individual & Online Therapy
all parts of you belong here.
It’s hard to be truly yourself. We learn about who we are in relationships and too many of us have learned that parts of our selves are unacceptable, shameful, or too much. We know that this can lead to doubting yourself, experiencing relationship distress; internalizing narratives of who you’re “supposed” to be; and creating anxiety, depression, or physical discomfort.
We also know that life happens, and that as humans, we need support for our most trying times. We’re here to help.

why should i start therapy?
You deserve a life filled with meaning and love. Let us help you find purpose, satisfaction, connection, and ease in every day. When you are able to find authenticity, offer yourself compassion, and feel a sense of belonging, even the difficult moments feel less overwhelming.
From a place of curiosity, we’ll collaborate to understand the sources of distress in your life, and to honor the feelings and thoughts associated with this distress. We’ll help you develop skills to build a supportive community, communicate empathically, and advocate for yourself and others.
You can find lasting healing, joy, and purpose in your life just as you are. Therapy at Kindman & Co. is a great first step.
I'm fine. I'll figure this out. Do I need individual therapy?
People are amazingly resilient. The odds are good that you will be able to get through this difficult situation on your own. Many of our clients come to us after years of managing or getting through by themselves, and we’re constantly in awe of the capacity of people to survive painful and traumatic experiences. But we also know that surviving all that pain alone comes at a cost.
Humans are social creatures; we’re not really meant to try and heal alone. Our cultural focus on individualism and self-sufficiency has placed an emphasis on personal growth and capacity, without acknowledging that dealing with tough situations and big emotions alone will often manifest as anxiety, depression, physical pain, or disconnection from others. Individual therapy sessions at Kindman & Co. are a space for you to heal in relationship. Our Highland Park, Los Angeles therapists can collaboratively help you recognize the sources of your pain, better understand what your distress is alerting you to, process your big feelings, and learn to advocate for your own needs so that you don’t have to accept pain as your “normal.” You can lead a satisfying and joyful life, AND you don’t have to get there on your own.

how individual counseling sessions help
Distress has a negative connotation. As humans, we tend to avoid painful things, but distress, worry, anxiety, sadness, anger, pain, and other big feelings exist for a reason. At Kindman & Co., we don’t think that experiencing pain means that there is anything wrong with you. We see your distress as vital feedback about your environment. We value humanness and messiness, and use social justice-informed, holistic approaches to mental health and wellbeing.
At Kindman & Co., therapy is a collaborative relationship between you and your therapist. This relationship creates a safe space to help you understand why you are experiencing big feelings, teaches you how to better handle these emotions, supports you to create a thriving community for yourself, and strengthens your capacity to advocate for what you believe in. Individual therapy with our team can help you with:
Managing Big Feelings – feel less overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, anger, stress, grief
Improving Relationships – build community & develop skills to feel more connected, supported, and understood by your loved ones
Embracing Authenticity – know and accept yourself for exactly who you are not who you think you “should” be, advocate for yourself, and show yourself more compassion
Navigating Challenging Life Situations – grief, breakups, toxic work environments, big choices, or challenging family dynamics
Achieving Goals – build clarity around what you’re wanting and define the essential steps to getting there
Healing Trauma – whether a single event or the accumulated impact of a lifetime of oppression and marginalization, trauma scars us by disconnecting us from our vitality and sense of safety, therapy can help you start to feel alive again and rebuild your sense of agency
Cultivating Resilience – learn to harness your innate strengths and to use your body to support you to meet life’s challenges with increased ease
Supporting Social Values – process feelings of sociopolitical grief and anxiety regarding forces of systemic oppression and the climate crisis through inspired actions that promote collective wellbeing
Finding Joy and Purpose – connect with what really matters to you, embrace playfulness, and be your most vibrant self

Individual Therapy FAQs
What happens in an individual therapy session?
Therapy is a space to slow down, reflect, and connect with what’s happening in the present moment. As relational therapists, we focus on what unfolds between us in session—the patterns, feelings, and ways of relating that offer insight into your experiences outside the therapy room. This here-and-now exploration becomes an incubator for practicing authenticity, voicing your needs, and building more genuine connection in your life.
Our sessions are conversational and guided by you—there’s no rigid structure, worksheets, or (rarely) homework. Instead, we stay curious together about what feels most alive and meaningful, trusting that real healing and change come through relationship and ongoing dialogue.
How long do I need to be in therapy?
Everyone’s process is unique. In our relational approach, healing unfolds through the steady, trusting connection you build with your therapist over time. While some clients begin to feel relief within the first few sessions, true and lasting change often develops through ongoing work. We view therapy as a long-term investment in your growth and self-understanding, and we generally recommend planning for at least a year of consistent sessions, though many of our clients choose to stay in an ongoing capacity. You’re always in control of the pace and depth of your process.
Do I need a specific reason to start therapy?
Not at all. Some people begin therapy during times of crisis, burnout, or life transition; others come with a sense that life feels off-balance or that something deeper is asking for attention. You don’t need a clear “reason” to reach out—individual therapy for personal growth can be a space to slow down, explore yourself more fully, and find relief through genuine connection and understanding.
As relational therapists, we help you look at patterns in relationships, emotions, and the ways you show up in the world, so you can build greater authenticity and self-trust. Therapy can also be a grounding space when the world feels too heavy—whether you’re navigating systemic oppression, collective grief, or political anxiety.
Our conversational, client-led approach allows space for whatever you’re carrying. Wanting things to feel lighter, clearer, or more like you is reason enough to begin.
What if I’ve had a hard experience with therapy before?
That’s completely valid—and something we take seriously. Unfortunately, many people come to us after a previous therapy experience that felt invalidating, rushed, or disconnected. Our therapists work from a feminist, relational therapy approach, which centers curiosity, mutual respect, and collaboration rather than hierarchy or critique.
As trauma-informed therapists, we understand that healing happens in relationship—including the therapeutic one. Together, we move at your pace, exploring what feels safe and what doesn’t. This process helps rebuild trust and create a space where you can bring your full self—your needs, boundaries, and voice.
Our work is conversational, client-led, and grounded in authentic connection. Whether you’re returning to therapy after a difficult experience or trying again with new hope, relational therapy for trust and healing offers a space to reimagine what support can feel like—warm, attuned, and genuinely empowering.
Do you offer therapy for specific communities or identities?
Yes! Kindman & Co. therapists are LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC affirming, trauma-informed, and deeply committed to inclusive care. We welcome people of all backgrounds and experiences and we specialize in supporting folks who have felt unseen or misunderstood in traditional therapy spaces.
What if I’m a creative, activist, or highly sensitive person?
We love working with clients who feel deeply, create boldly, and care A LOT! Whether you’re navigating burnout, creative pressure, or just trying to stay grounded in an overwhelming world, therapy can help you reconnect with your authentic self and build sustainable practices for emotional balance.
Do you offer online sessions?
Yes. We offer both online sessions for clients located in California and in-person sessions throughout Los Angeles, so you can choose the setting that feels best for you.
How much does Individual Therapy cost?
Our session rates are listed on the Fees & Insurance page and vary depending on therapist experience level and session length. We’ll review fees and scheduling with you before your first appointment.
How do I get started with Individual Therapy?
You can schedule a free 20-minute information session with our Care Coordinator to see if we feel like a good fit. There’s no pressure to commit—it’s a space to ask questions, share what’s been going on, and get a sense of what working together might feel like.
Therapy at Kindman & Co. isn’t about ‘fixing’ who you are—it’s about creating space to become more fully yourself.
