Los Angeles, California therapist: Ricardo Peña, licensed clinical social worker
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Ricardo Peña

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I provide services in Spanish + English. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist of Mesoamerica-Indigienous ancestry. My life exposed to community violence, trauma and intersecting oppressions has led me to the work of healing, self-discovery, exploration and ancestral healing. I was raised in the SF Bay Area and I currently reside on the stolen lands of the Tongva peoples, colonially known as Los Angeles, California. My lived experiences of being a person of color with intersecting identities, navigating the world and the trauma that comes with that, has led me to the practice of healing at a young age. I grew up with many years of witnessing (through family members + my community) severe mental illness, addiction, community violence, chronic suicidality, incarceration and domestic violence. Through my own stories and experiences, as a justice-oriented therapist, I aim to disrupt and dismantle these oppressive systems within myself and in my practice to make therapy a safe(r) space for folks who are targeted and made marginalized.

With my natural ability to connect with clients, I effortlessly build rapport and provide a safe, non-judgmental space for self-exploration. As a therapist, I take pride in actively engaging in the therapeutic process, actively participating and collaborating with you instead of simply observing.

Sherman Oaks, California therapist: Stella Zweben Samuel, LCSW, licensed clinical social worker
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Stella Zweben Samuel, LCSW

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I have worked as a psychotherapist for more than 25 years. During those years, I have worked with adolescents and young adults in a variety of settings – hospitals, day treatment facilities, universities, schools, and private practice. My first job out of social work school was at Bellevue Medical Center in New York City with adolescents. The adolescents with whom I worked at Bellevue gave me an education in humor, creativity, and strength. I obtained counseling positions at both UCLA and USC working with students on their academic challenges and the stress that impacts their success. It is fair to say that I have learned how to listen to adolescents, understand how to connect with them, and help them to gain confidence and the strategies to improve themselves and their situation. But I have also grasped the stress of parents have when raising adolescents and provided support, understanding, and tools to manage this important role. I’ve been training my whole life for this. I grew up with a mother who taught children with learning disabilities and a father who always gave back to the community recognizing those less fortunate. I learned early through volunteering at my mother’s school, volunteering at mental health helplines, supporting friends throughout high school, becoming a mom, and throughout my work in social work that providing another person with a patient and listening ear could provide support and understanding. It could be said that all that I have experienced, shared, and studied so far has been training me for the role I cherish that of psychotherapist.

Beverly Hills, California therapist: Samer Fawaz, marriage and family therapist
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Samer Fawaz

Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #149147
I believe everyone deserves a chance at better understanding themselves in a world that can be deeply judgmental, racist, homophobic, transphobic, sexist etc. The impositions that society places on us can produce self-loathing, low self-esteem and general feelings of unworthiness. I find great value and reward in helping people connect with their truest selves so they can flourish and find self-compassion. The most valuable impact therapy can have on you is a deeper understanding of yourself and who you want to show up as in the world. Through consistent, gentle, and thoughtful investigation of oneself, there can be considerable growth. The deeper we are able to go together, the more attuned you will become with yourself and others.
