Dr. Yeva Ghrjyan

Psychologist

Virtual & in-person • Encino, CA


I have specialized training in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, which was deepened through my postdoctoral fellowship at Wright Institute Los Angeles (WILA). This foundation allows me to help clients uncover deep-rooted patterns, understand their relational dynamics, and develop a more authentic connection with themselves.

My research on intergenerational trauma, attachment, and relationships in Armenian Americans further informs my work, giving me a deep appreciation for how cultural and family histories shape our experiences.

In addition to my clinical practice, I’m an adjunct faculty member at Alliant International University, my alma mater, where I teach clinical psychology doctoral students various approaches to therapy.

Jarah Trenier

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Sherman Oaks, CA


Hi, I’m Jarah. I help individuals, couples and teens move beyond survival mode and into deeper connection—with themselves, with others, and with life.

Many of my clients come in carrying things they can’t quite name. They feel stuck in patterns that don’t make sense, weighed down by anxiety, shame, or loneliness they’ve learned to mask. If that’s you, I want you to know: there’s nothing wrong with you. There’s a reason you feel the way you do. And you don’t have to carry it alone.

I specialize in trauma recovery, relationship issues, depression, and identity work. Therapy with me is warm, direct, and deeply human. I bring my full self into the room so you can bring your full self too.
