Elizabeth Malamed, MA

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist


         
          Each person is unique, and so is each relationship.

          Because a "one size fits all" approach often doesn't
          work, there are a variety of counseling options available.
          Take a look below for what would be the best fit for you.


 

Individual, couples and group psychotherapy in a nonjudgmental, supportive environment


Family therapy, with an emphasis on improving parenting skills and parent-child or parent-teen relationships


Cycle of life issues: birth, death, and everything in between, including rites of passage unacknowledged by mainstream culture


Ritual Therapy: using psychotherapy and spiritual practices to identify blocks; developing and facilitating rituals to overcome obstacles


Working with queer, trans, BDSM, and polyamorous relationships: dealing with “in the closet” issues as well as facilitating the coming out process


Going beyond talk therapy: using guided imagery, energy work, dreams, movement, and other systems to create change


Personalized life skills programs


Creativity enhancement and development


Consultation with current therapist/ counselor/psychiatrist to help bridge the gap between your world and the mental health/support world

Integrative Body Psychotherapy

This year I have begun a three year training certificate in Integrative Body Psychotherapy,(IBP online). This system of psychotherapy utilizes breath and body movement to release emotional and mental blockages. The Theory was developed by Jack Lee Rosenberg and others (more information here). As I am learning this new psychotherapeutic orientation, I will be integrating it in my current practice. Stay tuned!

SUPPORT GROUPS for MFT Interns and Trainees

Everyone deserves support, especially those who care for others. Becoming and MFT can take much time and effort. We provide education, nuturing, and a system of support in our groups. We discuss licensing and internships, develop life management and stress reduction skills, and honor psychotherapy's rites of passage. Groups are now forming in Los Angeles and San Fernando Valley.
