Melissa Shayfer
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Therapy offers an opportunity to grow curious about yourself. To look deeper into old patterns and ways of coping that have stopped serving you. My approach is relational and grounded in genuine presence. I aim safely explore what is beneath the patterns that brought you into the room. The goal is not simply insight, but change, through the development of a more authentic and integrated you. Over time, these qualities will foster growth and healing within yourself and your relationships.
Your therapy is tailored from a range of evidence-based modalities such as Internal Family Systems (Level 1), Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, CBT, Family Systems, and Psychoanalytic theory-- based on what best supports your growth in session and throughout different phases of our work.
I earned my Master of Arts in Psychology from Phillips Graduate University and have since worked extensively with individuals of all ages. My experience spans various settings, including counseling centers, a Los Angeles charter high school, and private practice.
