Catalaine Knell

I am a LCSW with experience working with individuals, couples and families, in a variety of clinical settings including the film & TV industry, Hollywood community MH, LA LBGTQ Center, and Braille Institute. I work with clients with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, trauma, depression, anger, family and work relational issues, disabilities, as well as, grief and loss. I work with all ages and many cultures.

MSW at CSULA. I spent many years living in France; teaching at universities.

My approach combines client centered, trauma focused (EMDR trained), mindfulness and somatic based therapies, as well as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I adjust these modalities to make sure they encompass your specific and unique needs. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you in your pursuit of more satisfying relationships and the attainment of your personal goals.

My counseling style is warm and thoughtful. I appreciate the human spirit and believe everyone deserves to be heard with respect, sensitivity and kindness. We will work together so that you feel empowered and supported to face the challenges life presents today.
