ABOUT ME
Serving in Mental Health Since 2015
My mission is through my unconditional positive regard and specialized training, to accompany you through life’s inevitable challenges and witness you overcoming them. Because no two clients are ever the same, I will collaborate with you and tailor our work to serve your specific needs and desired focus. What works for one client needs to be tweaked in order to serve someone else. Overall, the therapeutic process allows my clients to realize their inner strength. I am delighted to embark on a journey of change alongside you. Through our shared experience of therapy, you will increase your choices and ultimately you will embrace yourself as the unique individual that you are.
Hi, I am Angeliki Kanavou, Clinical Psychologist and former academic teacher of Peace and Conflict Studies. I am based in Los Angeles, California and serve online clients across California. As an Associate Therapist (AMFT 115398) I am working under the license of Matthew Shima (LMFT 113018) at the Southern California Counseling Center. I consider myself a Socratic therapist and I am convinced that you possess wisdom.
I am trained in several approaches to treating my clients. Because we constantly acquire new information from research in mental health, I am constantly keeping up with advances in the field. As a student of history I am confident that realizing how one came to be the person one is, is a freeing experience. My training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Ericksonian Hypnosis has helped many clients overcome single, or, more complex traumas. Get in touch to discuss your goals.
