Melissa W Cooper Therapy Serving Playa Vista
Find lasting relief from stress, anxiety, burnout, major life transitions, chronic pain and more through therapy that integrates Depth Perspective (Jungian) talk therapy with evidence based practices such as EMDR, CBT, and Somatic Healing.
Who I Work With:
I work best with High Functioning Individuals who are deeply motivated and committed to growth. Many are professionals working or living in Playa Vista who hold themselves to high standards, while carrying stress or self-doubt that others rarely see.
Success can come with its own challenges: chronic stress, anxiety, burnout, life transitions that feel overwhelming, or a sense that something needs to change but they’re not sure what it is.
I provide a space where you can slow down, reflect, and heal without judgment. Together, we navigate the internal and external pressures you face, uncover patterns, and create practical strategies that support meaningful lasting change and resilience.
What My Clients Say About their Experience
Meet Melissa - Therapist Serving Playa Vista
In Person or Virtual Sessions for your convenience
Before starting my career as a licensed therapist, I was a high functioning senior executive that experienced many of the challenges that come with success like chronic stress, anxiety, and burnout. Over the years, I have supported high functioning adults in creating clarity, resilience, and balance in their personal and professional lives.
My education and training includes Depth Perspective (Jungian) Psychotherapy, Somatic Healing, Mindfulness Practices, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprogramming (EMDR) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), allowing me to integrate insight-driven exploration with tools that deliver real world results.
