Great to meet you!

I’m Arpi Isayan, LCSW, an EMDR therapist in Los Angeles offering online therapy across California. I work with adults who look “high-functioning” on the outside but feel overwhelmed on the inside—often dealing with anxiety, trauma, perfectionism, intrusive thoughts/OCD, ADHD, and self-esteem or body image concerns.

I can help with

  • High-functioning anxiety, chronic stress, burnout
  • Trauma/PTSD, triggers, emotional overwhelm
  • OCD/intrusive thoughts, rumination, reassurance cycles
  • ADHD overwhelm, procrastination, perfectionism
  • Self-esteem, body image, shame, people-pleasing

My approach to therapy

My style is warm, grounded, and collaborative. I use EMDR along with parts work (IFS-informed), mindfulness, and CBT/ACT-informed tools. I’ll help you understand what’s happening in your brain and body so you can feel real change, not just “know better” intellectually. I’m practical and compassionate: we’ll go at a steady pace, I’ll explain the “why,” and I’ll check in often about what’s working.

What you can expect from me

We’ll focus on what’s felt hardest lately and what you want to be different. I’ll ask a few gentle questions to understand your history and patterns, explain how I work (including EMDR), and we’ll decide together if it feels like a good fit. Most people leave feeling heard, less alone, and clearer on next steps.
