Psychotherapy for preteens, teens, and young adults.
We provide specialized care for 10 to 25 year olds and their families across Los Angeles and throughout California.
Iris Therapy Center is a psychotherapy practice based in the Pico-Robertson neighborhood of Los Angeles. We specialize in working with 10 to 25 year-olds, with a particular emphasis on:
Anxiety
LGBTQIA+ youth, including transgender youth receiving gender-affirming medical care
Neurodivergence
Eating and body image issues
While we tailor our approach to meet the unique needs of the individual, we always use a trauma-informed lens and practice from a place of cultural humility. This whole-person approach not only alleviates symptoms but also addresses their underlying causes, opening up new perspectives and paving the way to a more meaningful and joyful life.
We are trained in and utilize the following evidence-based and depth-oriented approaches:
Psychodynamic Therapy
DBT
Family-Based Treatment (FBT)
Attachment-Focused EMDR
Play Therapy

✔ Gain clarity on who they are and how they want to show up in relationships
✔ Build confidence that comes from genuine self-knowledge
✔ Learn to communicate authentically instead of shutting down
✔ Transform confusion and pain into wisdom and strength
✔ Discover their own capacity for resilience and growth

OUR APPROACH
We see the whole picture.
Developmental Specialists
We understand that many struggles during these years are part of normal growth, while others need clinical support. The brain and identity are still forming, and we work with that process.
Family-Centered
Young people don't exist in isolation. We help families strengthen communication and dynamics.
Beyond Quick Fixes
We get to the root of what's driving symptoms, not just the symptoms themselves.
Evidence-Based
We use proven approaches designed for this stage of life.
