Therapist in Mar Vista

If you live in Mar Vista and are looking for relief from stress, anxiety, burnout, or more, schedule a free consultation with Melissa W Cooper Therapy to explore the power of modern therapy that combines the insights of Depth (Jungian) Perspective with evidence based practices such as EMDR, CBT, Mindfulness, and Somatic Healing.

Who I Work With:

I work best with adults who are deeply motivated and committed to growth. Many live or work in Mar Vista and carry stress, self-doubt, anxiety, or burnout, that others rarely see. I provide a space where they can slow down, reflect, and heal without judgment. Together, we navigate the internal and external pressures they face, uncover patterns, and create practical strategies that support meaningful lasting change and resilience.

Video Welcome from Melissa W Cooper

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. As a licensed psychotherapist, I have supported many high functioning adults to create 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.
