Dr. Jack Sample

I'm Dr. Jack Sample, a licensed clinical psychologist in Los Angeles offering psychodynamic, depth-oriented therapy at my office in Hollywood. My practice is informed by training and education in psychology, cultural anthropology, and nonfiction storytelling. I believe therapy is an opportunity to address the roots of suffering and support enduring change. My approach aims to cultivate capacities for thinking, feeling, and creativity to foster a greater sense of agency and aliveness.

Therapy facilitates a process that can produce new ways of thinking, feeling, and being. I work with individuals whose struggles have led them to become curious about how life can change.

Through a psychoanalytic approach, therapy can help you better understand yourself, develop emotional resilience, and make more intentional choices by addressing the underlying dynamics shaping your inner life. In treatment, I intend to nurture a reliable and collaborative relationship. I approach this work with deep respect for suffering and an understanding that it can change for the better.

During a first session, we will review information relevant to treatment and I will invite you to tell me more about what brings you to therapy.
