Underneath

Three roots under most of these problems

Most of what brings people in traces back to one of three things. Knowing which shapes how we work.

i

A body stuck on high alert.

Years of pressure can leave your system running hot even when nothing is wrong.
Somatic work and EMDR →

ii

Old patterns that still run the show.

What you learned early about love, work and worth tends to repeat until you see it.
Internal Family Systems →

iii

Blind spots in how we relate.

The same fight, the same distance. Loops neither person chose.

Questions

Questions before you reach out

What can therapy help with?

Therapy can help with burnout, anxiety, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, depression, trauma, life transitions and relationship strain. At Lisa Chen & Associates we see adults, couples and teens 15 and up, in Hermosa Beach, in Pasadena, or by telehealth anywhere in California.

Do I need to know what’s wrong before I start?

No. Most people start with what they’re living with, like not being able to switch off or having the same fight again. In a free 20-minute consult we listen, then match you with the clinician and the approach that fit.

Can my partner and I come together?

Yes. Couples therapy starts when both partners agree to come. We offer weekly sessions and couples intensives held over one to three days. If your partner isn’t ready yet, you can begin individual therapy and revisit couples work later.
