Tom Szabadi

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

“I am energized by helping my clients navigate major life changes. Let's join forces to help you look through a new lens and turn challenges into opportunities.”

About Me

I find it deeply rewarding to help clients navigate significant shifts in life. When change feels overwhelming, we can work together to explore new perspectives. Our sessions offer a collaborative space to reframe difficulties and discover hidden strengths. This approach helps you transform challenges into meaningful opportunities. Clients seeking clarity and practical ways to move forward will find a supportive partnership.

Approach

When life shifts suddenly, I help you turn that disorientation into gradual, manageable steps so new perspectives feel possible. Sessions in my Los Angeles office or online move at a steady, collaborative pace: we check where you are, try focused practices in-session, and set small, practical experiments between meetings to test new ways of coping and relating. The work is hands-on but attuned — good for adults, couples, elders, or families seeking clarity and real movement forward.
