Ms Patricia Stephens

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

“I have a particular interest in working with all backgrounds and am sensitive to issues of gender, cultural and spiritual/religious beliefs.”

About Me

I offer a welcoming space where all aspects of your identity are respected. My approach is rooted in understanding diverse gender, cultural, and spiritual beliefs. I help individuals and couples navigate relationships, always honouring your unique background. Clients seeking a therapist who truly understands their lived experience will find a supportive partner here. We can explore challenges and build stronger connections together.

Approach

An awareness of identity, culture and faith guides how I work with clients, shaping gentle curiosity and respect for your story. In my Los Angeles office or in English online, sessions move at a pace you set—often alternating focused conversation with simple, practical steps to try between meetings. I pay close attention to patterns around anger, past hurts, abuse and relationship dynamics, inviting collaboration, safety and clear communication as we untangle what’s keeping you stuck. Those seeking steady, respectful support around relationships or anxiety often find this approach helpful.
