Depression, anxiety disorders, and other mental health conditions that negatively impact well-being are on the rise everywhere. Finding the right therapist can be a daunting task, even in an area as populated as Los Angeles county. But finding a therapist in Los Angeles, CA may have become easier with the growing network of online therapy. An online platform like BetterHelp can streamline the process, and has over 30,000 licensed mental health professionals that specialize in a range of therapies for diverse populations. Multicultural counselors for racial-based trauma, LGBTQ+ friendly therapists who work with all sexual orientations and gender identities, therapy for victims of abuse, and much more. 

It can be easy to feel stuck in life, but therapy clients often learn the skills needed to manage stress, promote self-growth and self-actualization, and lead a healthy and fulfilling life. With the wide variety of licensed professionals in the BetterHelp network, finding the therapist that matches your personal needs can be far less stressful than looking for a local in-person therapist. Most people are matched with a therapist within 48 hours, and have the option to switch therapists for free until they find their ideal match. Sessions can be scheduled around your time, and you can participate from the comfort of your own home. 

For those in the Los Angeles or Culver City area looking for therapy such as cognitive behavioral therapy for mental health challenges, or simply to learn more about yourself, many have found great success in online therapy platforms such as BetterHelp. Their licensed professionals can offer the tools needed to learn to manage stress, heal from trauma, and become your best self.

Hi there! My name is Masood Moghaddam, and I am a Clinical Social Worker, licensed in California, experienced psychotherapist and a life coach. Thank you for taking the time to learn how my counseling and therapy services can be a useful tool for yourself or someone you care about. My expertise has offered me opportunities in working with clients with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges and OCD. I have helped people struggling with traumatic events in their life, PTSD, and emotional and/or physical abuse. **Please note, I only take clients from California and parts of Canada due to time restrictions. My counseling style is calm, interactive and engaging. My approach combines positive psychology, cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I believe relationships are the origin of our greatest growth yet can also be the source of our considerable challenges. My goal in our work together is to help you as an Individual, Couple, or Family to better understand these multifaceted relationships. Often these complicated relationships come intertwined with personal issues stemming from our past. As your therapist, I will provide empathy, compassion, guidance and if needed an alternative point of view to help you and/or your family work through your challenges. It takes desire to grow, willingness to make an initial effort, courage to seek a more fulfilling life and to take the first step toward a change. If you are ready to begin your journey toward a positive change and a more fulfilling life, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!
