Welcome to Mellow Therapy! I'm Amanda Feinberg, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. My academic journey includes a Bachelor's in Psychology from the University of California, Los Angeles, and a Master's in Clinical Psychology from Loyola Marymount University's Graduate School. My therapeutic toolkit comprises Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Internal Family Systems, all geared toward helping my clients become the best version of themselves.

My approach to therapy is characterized by two essential elements: transparency and vulnerability. I firmly believe that a therapeutic environment should be comfortable and reassuring, where clients can share their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. I understand that opening up in therapy can be daunting, and I work diligently to create an atmosphere of trust and empathy.

Directness is a hallmark of my therapeutic style. Rather than fragilizing my clients, I aim to challenge them constructively. I firmly believe that therapy is not meant to be easy; it’s a transformative journey that requires courage and self-discovery. It’s a privilege to witness clients who entrust me with their innermost struggles and the patterns that have caused them pain.

I subscribe to the belief that no one is inherently broken. My role as a therapist is to assist people in uncovering the parts of themselves that may have been obscured by trauma, societal conditioning, and fear. In this process, I provide clients with education and help them understand the “why” behind their behaviors. This knowledge can be a powerful catalyst for change and personal growth.

As a therapist, I believe in continuous education and personal growth to ensure the best care for my clients. I love my work and feel privileged to help others with the knowledge I gain.

I look forward to the potential of working together on your journey of self-discovery, healing, and personal growth.
