Vanessa Spooner, Clinical Psychologist

My clients describe me as:

A real person! Yes, I am a therapist who has been licensed for 10+ years, but I translate therapy jargon into real words.

Something to know about my approach is:

Sometimes talk therapy works, sometimes you need something that goes beyond it. That's why I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy.

Together, we will:

Learn how your nervous system works – people tend to get stuck on HIGH or LOW. When you are stuck on HIGH you might be experiencing panic attacks, racing thoughts, and/or feel like past traumas are being triggered.

I specialize in working with people who:

Creative people are the center of my work life – writers, artists, producers, musicians, digital designers, game developers. Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs), Parents juggling creative work and their families.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

My office is in the heart of Echo Park – walk on over if you live in the neighborhood, or take a short drive if you're on the east side of LA!
