Dr Annie Varvaryan, PsyD

Licensed Psychologist

“I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and cofounder of Couch Conversations Psychotherapy and Counseling, Inc. I work with adolescents, teens, adults, couples and families, who are experiencing a range of symptoms and experiences.”

About Me

I offer a supportive space where we can collaboratively navigate life's challenges. Many clients find it helpful to explore their thoughts and feelings in a calm, confidential setting. My aim is to help you gain clarity and develop practical tools. We can address stress, anxiety, or relationship difficulties together. We work at your own pace, ensuring sessions feel grounded and purposeful. This approach suits those seeking a thoughtful, steady path towards greater well-being.

Approach

Many people tell me our time together becomes a practical pause where we sort through what's most pressing and try small, concrete ways to feel steadier. In my La Crescenta-Montrose office or during online sessions I balance focused reflection with hands-on practice—mindful noticing, brief experiments, and skill-building you can try between meetings. Sessions move at a steady, collaborative pace, checking what helps and what needs adjusting. This approach often fits those navigating transitions, anxiety, relationship shifts, or early adulthood challenges.
