My approach to therapy is layered and compassionate, meeting you where you are and supporting you through each stage of your healing journey.

+1 (818) 405-8255
  • Awareness
  • Understanding what is truly troubling you is the first step toward healing. In therapy, I’ll guide you to look inward to gain deeper insight into your thoughts, emotions, and desires. Clarity about who you are and where you want to go lays the foundation for meaningful change.
  • Empowerment
  • Once we’ve uncovered the root of your struggles, we can begin the healing process. Using a blend of evidence-based psychotherapy techniques and a holistic approach that considers mind, body, and spirit, I help you work through past trauma and build resilience for a healthier future..
  • Harmony
  • Healing deepens self-awareness. I support you in developing the inner resources needed to grow and thrive. With greater authenticity and self-understanding, you will foster more genuine, intuitive connections with yourself and with others.

Real Stories of Success and Satisfaction

Since I started seeing Nicole Sela, my life has improved tremendously! She has helped me understand the root cause of my anxiety and supported me in overcoming many of my fears in a healthy way. I have begun to take back control of both my personal and professional life. Therapy truly works.” 

Kimberly Peters

When we got married, no one told us just how much compromise it would take. My partner and I were ready to call it quits barely 7 months in. We truly believed we were terrible for each other. That changed when we found Nicole while desperately searching for couples therapy in LA. Her wisdom, patience and steady guidance saved our marriage. We will be celebrating our third anniversary this October.

I will also answer any questions you may have.

I offer individual, couples, family, and emerging adults counseling. My therapeutic approach includes multiple approaches to treatment including cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, interpersonal therapy and acceptance & commitment therapy.

The duration of treatment depends on your needs and the severity of the issues you wish to address.
