Teletherapy
Individual Therapy
We offer individual therapy services to adults living in California, New York, Florida, and Illinois. Our areas of expertise include perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (aka Postpartum), stress and anxiety, isolation and loneliness, and relationship counseling.
Couples Counseling
Being in a healthy and happy relationship is the number one indicator of happiness and life satisfaction. We offer couples counseling to adults living in California, New York, Florida, and Illinois to help couples improve communication, intimacy, and friendship.
In-Person Services
We understand that not everyone is comfortable with Telehealth services and some clients prefer to meet face-to-face with their therapist. We have two limited in-person options available:
1) Walk-and-Talk: Our founder Linda Meier Abdelsayed, LMFT, PMH-C, as well as our associate Natalie Herriott, AMFT, APCC offer walk-and-talk services at the South Coast Botanic Gardens in Rancho Palos Verdes and the Redondo Beach promenade. This is a great option for clients who enjoy being outside and walking during their therapy sessions.
2) Office-based: Our associate Natalie Herriott, AMFT, APCC, offers traditional office-based therapy in Torrance, CA on Wednesdays. Availability is limited.

Guest Speaking
Our founder Linda Meier Abdelsayed, LMFT is also available for guest speaking engagements at conferences, corporate events, or retreats. Linda is an Adjunct Professor at Pepperdine University's Master's Program in Clinical Psychology and has extensive experience in guest speaking.
