Hi, I’m Dr. Brooke Kaufman
On the outside, you may seem like you have it all together—but inside, you might feel anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure of what’s next. Many of my clients are professionals, creatives, or caregivers who feel a strong connection to the roles they play in their lives. Some struggle with perfectionism, anxiety, or ADHD, while others are navigating early life challenges or relationship difficulties. Often, they’ve achieved a lot but are questioning what fits, what fulfills them, or how to keep going without burning out.
I help clients explore what’s underneath the pressure, clarify their needs, and develop new ways of caring for themselves. Together, we’ll make space for the parts of you that feel unseen and build tools to quiet the self-doubt and inner criticism. You’ll learn how to care for yourself with less guilt, connect more authentically in your relationships, and move toward a life that feels calmer, freer, and more aligned with what matters most to you.
My approach blends evidence-based therapies—such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness—with insight-oriented strategies to uncover the roots of challenges. For couples, I incorporate the Gottman Method and Emotion-Focused Therapy to support connection and communication.
I’m an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist with experience working with people from a variety of racial, cultural, and economic backgrounds. I invite you to bring all parts of yourself to our work together and am committed to providing a safe, supportive space where you can explore your identity without judgment.
I’m a licensed clinical psychologist based in Los Angeles. I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Texas at Austin and earned my doctorate from the Wright Institute in Berkeley. Before private practice, I gained experience across hospitals, clinics, and community settings, working with clients across the lifespan on anxiety, depression, trauma, postpartum challenges, and psychological assessment.
