Dr. Taylor Broughton

Dr. Taylor Broughton

Psychologist

Virtual • California


I know starting therapy can feel awkward. Sharing your inner world with someone new takes courage — but it can also be the start of genuine growth and healing. My goal is to make that step easier by creating a space that feels safe, warm, and grounded in understanding.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in California, educated in Oregon, where my appreciation for nature, reflection, and connection began. I provide therapy for adults in California, helping people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, identity transitions, and life stress.

Over the years, I’ve worked in hospitals, rural community clinics, emergency departments, psychiatric hospitals, and outpatient psychotherapy, which has given me a deep respect for resilience and the many ways people adapt and heal.

Psychologist

Sometimes the hardest part isn't the struggle itself. It's finding someone who will actually understand the world you're living in. I'm Pia, a psychotherapist with many years of experience working with adults and seniors through anxiety, trauma, grief, identity questions, relationship strain, and major life transitions. I work with individuals and couples from a wide range of backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+ communities, new and expecting mothers, and people from diverse cultural and ethnic origins who have sometimes found mainstream therapy less than welcoming. I listen closely, and I work hard to make sure you feel genuinely seen from the very first session.

Welcome! I am a licensed therapist offering Narrative Therapy for creatives, musicians, artists, and young professionals in West Los Angeles and throughout California. I work from a poststructural, non-pathologizing perspective to help you explore the stories that shape your identity, relationships, and sense of possibility. This is a space for reimagining—not for 'fixing.' It is a place to nurture your inner life while resisting the systems that seek to define your worth.

Rozita Aslemand

Therapist

Virtual • Tarzana, CA


I believe that every person is born with the capacity to live a full, meaningful, and joyful life. Through life's challenges, losses, relationships, and unexpected experiences, we can become disconnected from that sense of wholeness. My role is to provide a compassionate, supportive space where you can reconnect with yourself, better understand your experiences, and move toward healing. I view therapy as a collaborative process built on trust, respect, and genuine human connection.

Marcella Rodriguez

Therapist

Virtual • California


I am passionate about supporting young adults and first-generation individuals as they navigate life transitions, anxiety, depression, and the many pressures that can come with finding your place in the world. I understand that balancing personal goals, family expectations, relationships, career decisions, and cultural experiences can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when you are trying to create a path that feels authentic to you.

My background includes both direct clinical practice and consulting with schools and community-based organizations to help strengthen the way mental health services are delivered. These experiences have shaped my understanding of how our environments, relationships, identities, and communities can influence our emotional well-being.

I deeply value the healing journey and believe therapy works best as a collaborative process. My role is not to tell you who to be or what choices to make, but to help you better understand yourself, recognize your strengths, and find a path forward that feels meaningful to you. Together, we can work toward greater clarity, resilience, confidence, and a stronger sense of centeredness in your life.
