Trauma-Informed Care For Couples and Individuals

Dr. M.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist based out of Southern California offering concierge and virtual services for adult individuals and couples.

I am bilingual, offering services in both English and Armenian (Eastern and Western dialects) and invested in offering culturally responsive care.

My professional background spans varied clinical settings, including trauma-focused care within the Veterans Affairs Healthcare System, inpatient psychiatric and forensic hospitals, community mental health, corrections, and residential treatment programs.

I have worked with individuals and couples navigating substance use, trauma, and complex mood disorders as well as chronic stress and major life transitions.

Please note that I do not work with clientele under the age of 18 at this time.

I am proud to support queer and neurodivergent clientele.

I do not currently accept any form of insurance, but am offering sliding scale services. Concierge services offered for select locations. Virtual services by video or phone offered for California and Iowa residents only.

Feel free to reach out below to schedule a free, 10-minute consultation by phone to assess whether I would be the right fit for your current needs.
