Kirby Tepper, LMFT

Therapy for anxiety, relationship difficulties, and feeling like you’re not moving forward.

Call 323-702-5404 or text me for a consult.

We’ll talk through what’s happening—I’ll ask questions, offer observations, and help you sort it out.

The focus is on what’s driving your thinking and behavior—and why it can feel so difficult to change, even when you can see what’s happening.

You keep ending up in the same situations

You’re worried about the future.

Your brain won’t shut off.

You can’t decide which way to turn.

You’re hard on others — and even harder on yourself.

What made sense earlier in your life may not be working anymore.

There’s a way to understand what’s driving it—and change it.

Approach

Anxiety is meant to be a good thing—a signal and a protection. Fear is about the future. Whether it’s in the next 10 minutes or the rest of your life, you’re responding to fear that something or everything is going to go wrong.

We’ll look at how the ways you adapted to fear earlier in life, and how they’re still shaping your relationships and decisions now.

Sadness is about the present and the past, and anger’s a response to fear, sadness, and sometimes simple confusion or uncertainty.

Early on, you created patterns meant to deal with your feelings. We’ll find out what’s keeping those patterns in place now—even though they’re no longer working, and how to shift them so relationships and decisions start to feel clearer.

In sessions, I’m active and engaged—we’ll go back and forth with questions and ideas. You’ll be able to put what’s actually on your mind out in the open without being judged, or feeling like there’s something wrong with you for thinking it. From there, we can see it clearly and figure out what to do next.
