Are you tired of hearing the refrain, “relationships are hard”? It’s a common sentiment and it’s normal to feel stuck, but your relationship doesn’t have to be defined by constant struggle. Instead of insecurity, anger, and pain, your partnership can bring comfort, joy, and support.
At Therapy Ties in Woodland Hills, we believe that every strong relationship starts with understanding oneself. Before diving into relationship issues, it’s essential to first explore your own authentic desires and needs to navigate life’s challenges. Sometimes couples try to dig right into the “problems” in the relationships without looking at the people in the relationship. I believe that every good relationship starts with ourselves. You have to be authentic and genuine with yourself and understand your deepest wants and needs before you can effectively communicate that to a partner.
This journey of self-discovery may seem daunting, but you don’t have to navigate your mental health journey alone.
Hi, I’m Liron.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I’m dedicated to helping you uncover your truest self and thrive in every relationship. Whether working with couples individually or together, my approach is rooted in Humanistic principles and evidence-based treatment modalities such as Emotion-Focused Therapy, Gestalt, and Family Systems. The Humanistic approach celebrates your innate goodness and uniqueness, guiding you towards your authentic self.
In our therapy sessions in Woodland Hills, CA, I see you as the expert in your own life and well-being, with a genuine curiosity in your journey. My goal is to provide a nurturing environment that empowers you to develop a strong sense of self, understand your emotions and needs, and create a meaningful life aligned with your aspirations.
A little about me:
I grew up in Israel and moved to California at 16. Fluent in Hebrew and English, I provide therapy in Woodland Hills in both languages. I earned my Master of Arts degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at Phillips Graduate Institute, specializing in treatment for children, adolescents, families, and couples. Additionally, I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of California, Los Angeles. As a certified anger management specialist and trainer (CAMS III), I bring a comprehensive approach to addressing a range of life’s challenges.
