I became a therapist to help people suffer less and grow more. I have 15 years of experience in private practice, a mental health jail and a high-needs public clinic. I have led therapy groups focusing on childhood trauma, men's groups, feeling safe in love, attachment, codependence and spirituality. I was awarded Employee of the Year for LA County's Department of Mental Health. I supervise developing therapists and provide trainings on best clinical practices through public speaking and professional development.
I help clients navigate life's challenges and achieve greater fulfillment. Whether you're facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or self-esteem concerns, I'm here to support and empower you on your journey toward positive change.
My name is Annie Vo, and I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Los Angeles, CA.

I work collaboratively to explore the connection and meaning of your unique life challenges by reflecting, processing, and recognizing the underlying root of your conflict. I utilize visual and engaging strategies and interventions to support my client in implementing and enhancing their coping skills and deeper therapeutic insight.
Hi there, I’m Maria Avina. For me, therapy is all about helping individuals find healing in many areas of their life. I have over 15 years of experience working as a therapist in the community. My approach: I set clear goals for myself and my clients, and treat every session as an opportunity to make progress. I approach therapy through a person-centered lens and through other holistic approaches. I am excited to work with anyone seeking healing and self growth.
Let’s work together to address the challenges in your life. Finding a therapist that fits your needs is essential, if I am not the therapist for you, I'll help you find one who is. Prior to becoming a therapist, I was a Registered Nurse for over 15yrs. I understand the interplay between our mental and physical health, and how one effects the other.
I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, respected, and genuinely understood. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in helping people navigate life's challenges with greater clarity and confidence. I strive to create a supportive space where clients can explore their experiences without judgement while building practical tools for growth, healing, and lasting change.
For over 20 years, I've specialized in Palliative & Hospice care, supporting adults as they navigate cancer, chronic illness, grief, challenging family dynamics & end-of-life concerns. I also work with caregivers and healthcare professionals experiencing burnout and emotional fatigue. When you or someone you love is facing cancer or another serious condition, everything can feel uncertain. Together we can create space for the parts of you that feel overwhelmed or scared, and the ones trying to stay strong. You don’t have to carry this alone.
I understand the challenges of navigating the healthcare system and the importance of advocating for yourself or a loved one impacted by illness. As an educator and bedside clinician, I’ve supported countless patients and families in accessing California’s End of Life Option Act. Whether you are a patient or caregiver, I would be privileged to support you on this journey and believe that nobody should have to face such difficulties on their own. I also work with healthcare professionals—doctors, nurses, and social workers—who give so much of themselves and sometimes need space to process and recharge.
Throughout my career, I've worked collaboratively on interdisciplinary teams, focusing specifically on the psychosocial needs of individuals impacted by medical challenges and the family members caring for them.
Hi, I'm Fanta—yes, like the soda (and yes, there's a story behind it, but of course it has nothing to do with soda!). With nearly 20 years in the mental health field and over a decade providing therapy, I've walked alongside children, families, couples, and adults as they’ve faced some of life’s toughest moments.
I truly believe that “the struggle you're in today is developing the strength you need for tomorrow.” Life brings challenges, but how we respond to them shapes our path forward. I’ve been there too, and I know how important it is to feel supported as you find your way through.
My goal is to work with you—not for you or around you, but with you—as you build the tools and confidence to navigate whatever life throws your way. We’ll work together to recognize negative thought patterns, build self-compassion, and strengthen your connection with yourself and those around you.
More than anything, I’m here to create a space that feels safe, empathetic, and judgment-free. A space where you can be fully you, speak your truth, and start to heal.
