“The greatest and most important problems in life are all fundamentally insoluble. They can never be solved, but only outgrown.” Carl Jung

This quotation by Carl Jung captures the essence of my approach to therapy. If your current struggles were easily resolved, you probably wouldn’t be reading my introduction. And if you are looking for advice or solutions, I’m probably not the right therapist for you. What I do offer is a safe space to explore the nature of your struggles and support your efforts to grow past them.

In my thirty years as a psychotherapist, I have been privileged to witness this growth amongst many individuals with unique struggles. My clinical experience includes working with adults and young adults from diverse ethnic and racial communities, many of whom identify with the LGBT community and many of whom experienced severe trauma in their childhood and adolescence. I am fully trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). When clinically appropriate, I offer this treatment approach to help clients process their most impactful traumatic memories.

Through my doctoral studies, I have studied the theories and applications of depth psychology, which focuses on the role the unconscious plays in our lives. My dissertation, Wounding the Healer: Suicide’s Quest for Voice, reviews the phenomenon of suicide and explores the experiences of clinician suicide loss survivors.

I believe one should be mindful in finding a therapist. To this end, I offer a free 15-minute virtual session to meet you and hear what you are looking for in therapy. After this consultation, I encourage you to take your time in considering if my approach, experience, and style feel like a good fit for you and if you would like to proceed with weekly psychotherapy.

Hi my.name is Regina Karpman. I am a cerified Life and Wellness Coach. I hold a BA and MA in Psychology.

I have an extensive expierience as a mental health clinician working with individuals and family.

Set your self for success! You want to be a good enough parent, better partner or more successful in your profession

or business. I belive Mindset is Everything, and change starts with you. Using Cognitive Behavior Therapy I help clients understand their limiting beliefs so they can achieve clarity around their purpose, goals both personal and professional.

Together we make a plan to get you there, which as a result will lead to personal growth, development, awarness and

a better more productive lifestyle. GET EXCITED FOR CHANGE

You put your all into showing up for everyone else in your life-family, friends, and work. You often put yourself on the back burner.  You push through feelings of depression, anxiety, and exhaustion. You think you’ll “just get through it” until you can’t anymore.  I work with women who are great at many things, but taking care of themselves is often not one of them. 

You don't have to keep struggling alone.

I’ll offer you a compassionate, listening ear in our work together.  I’ll be supportive and caring as we tackle the pain of your trauma, loss, or cancer diagnosis.  We’ll process the frustrations of parenting. And we’ll look at new ways of improving your relationships.  What’s brought you here might be a current situation or a painful history.  We’ll see how the past and present are connected by exploring how old experiences shape your recent reactions.

We’ll use deep, insight-oriented therapy to help you better understand yourself and the people in your life. EMDR therapy can help you work through your unique pain to get you to a place where you can see the future you want.  My clients often describe me as direct, honest, and insightful. I help my clients look at their lives differently, giving them a new understanding.

As I challenge my clients to look at things differently, they often respond with, “that’s a great question.”

What it’s like to work with me…

My clients come in wanting someone who really gets it. And while I haven’t experienced your unique pain, I do know what it’s like to go through painful and complex experiences and wonder if you’ll come out the other side and if you’ll continue to survive (and even thrive) in that future.

It’s why I’ve dedicated my life to working with women struggling with trauma, loss, grief, and cancer.  I support caregivers with loved ones battling cancer and work with women struggling in their parent or step-parent roles.

I believe that the unique challenges you’re facing deserve a level of expertise that I’ve worked hard to achieve. So as a psychodynamic therapist also certified in EMDR, I’m here to help you move through your pain so that you’re able to feel calm and peace inside and have the types of relationships you want, and engage in life in a new way.

A little more about me: I’m an LA native, and on my 30th birthday, I gave up the hope of ever not sounding like a Valley Girl (even though I grew up in the city!). I get the frustration of driving 60 minutes only to go 8 miles, and I avoid the 405 whenever possible! When I’m not busy working as a therapist, you can find me reading, traveling, and enjoying the sites behind the lens of my camera.

otherhood is often portrayed as a joyful journey, but the truth is, it can also be a path filled with emotional and physical challenges that can deeply affect your mental health. As a mother who has faced medical struggles, emotional losses, and the complexities of balancing partnership and self-care, I know how overwhelming this journey can feel. It’s easy to feel lost, isolated, and unsure of who you are in the midst of it all.

As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 20 years of experience, I combine my personal journey with professional expertise to help women, couples, and families navigate these challenges. My approach is compassionate, supportive, and tailored to your unique needs. Together, we can work through the struggles of motherhood, strengthen your relationships, and reclaim your sense of self, one step at a time.

You don’t have to face this journey alone—let’s walk this path together and create a healthier, more fulfilling life for you and your family.
