About Melissa

Hi, I’m Melissa W Cooper, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist serving Culver City and the surrounding area with in-person and virtual therapy. I know asking for help is hard when you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or unsure why the same struggles keep showing up in your life. Sometimes the roots of those feelings are old wounds, unprocessed trauma, or life experiences that haven’t been fully processed yet. Other times, it’s just a low level hum of stress or sadness that can’t be explained. I am passionate about my work and provide a space where you can slow down, reflect, and heal without judgement.

Who Do I Help?

I specialize in assisting adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions. You don’t have to face your life challenges alone. Together we uncover patterns, heal old wounds, and build resilience so you can move forward with clarity, balance, and purpose.


How Do I Help?

My approach combines the insights from a Depth (Jungian) perspective with evidence-based tools like EMDR, CBT, Mindfulness, and Somatic Healing. That means we don’t just manage symptoms, we integrate insight-driven exploration with tools that deliver real world results.


My Fee?

$200 to $250 per 50 minute session.
