Ira Israel

In-person therapy for individuals and couples in my Santa Monica office in Los Angeles; telehealth for New York clients.

I help people who feel anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, or stuck in difficult relationships or unsatisfying careers.

Many of my clients are creative professionals dealing with ADHD, trauma, family conflict, codependency, OCD, burnout, job distress, infidelity, grief, or questions about meaning and purpose. Some people come to therapy for help with dating, intimacy, parenting, addiction, a painful breakup, or a major life transition; others want support around spiritual experiences, creating a balanced life, or new communication tools for healthier relationships.

My style is authentic, compassionate, and solution-focused. Together we will clarify what is going on, identify what matters most to you, and outline practical steps to help you overcome your problems.

Individuals often report that I have a unique ability to quickly identify and address deep-rooted wounds, offering practical tools to release trauma and alleviate the depression and anxiety; couples frequently express experiencing greater understanding, compassion, and intimacy—often within just 1 or 2 sessions.
