Hi, I’m Bonnie Brazell and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing therapy in LA county.

I’m glad you’re here.

INDIVIDUALS

In my work with individuals, my approach is based in Psychodynamic Therapy where I explore past wounds, most often in childhood, and how they inform the way we live and relate in adulthood. We can unknowingly be playing out patterns that we learned from childhood in our current relationships. The problem comes when what worked to help us survive when we were younger is no longer effective for thriving relationships today. For that reason, I like to utilize the therapy relationship as an avenue to heal relational hurt, break ineffective coping patterns, and explore new ways of relating to others and ourselves.

FAMILIES

Is your family struggling to communicate? Does it feel like every time you are together, it results in arguments, tears, or emotional shutdown? Family estrangement does not need to be the only solution for reducing conflict. In fact, maintaining and healing your familial bonds may be more possible than you think.

I can help your family develop tools for better communication and connection. We can work together in diads, triads, or your complete nuclear family to move towards healing.

Let’s connect and see how we can make the holidays a little less triggering for everyone!
