About Guzel Safina

I am a psychotherapist based in Los Angeles, California.

As a therapist, I invite you to explore together past and current difficulties to gain a better understanding and insight into why you might be feeling stuck or repeating difficult patterns. I focus on issues related to:

  • Depression and feelings of emptiness
  • Relationship problems
  • Difficult family dynamics
  • Loss
  • Difficulties in your working life
  • Divorce and separation
  • Abuse and the effects of trauma
  • Anxiety and fears
  • Life changes or a major life event
  • Challenges in identifying, expressing or controlling emotions

I integrate DBT, ACT, CBT, IFS, and psychodynamic approaches into my clinical work, tailoring each to meet the unique needs of my clients.

In addition to maintaining a private practice, I have experience working in crisis mental health residential facilities, substance use and mental health treatment centers, and with children and families.

I work with individuals and couples and offer both brief and open-ended therapy. We can discuss which option will suit you best.

The fee is $200 per session for individuals, $250 for couples.
