California › Los Angeles
Tandem Alliance lists 18 certified specialty therapists practicing in the Los Angeles area — the largest city roster in our California directory. Every one has passed three-step vetting: active California licensure (LMFT, LCSW, LPCC, PsyD, or PhD), verified training in their stated specialty, and a clean disciplinary record with the California Board of Behavioral Sciences or Board of Psychology.
The LA roster covers a wide clinical range: EMDR and trauma treatment, anxiety and OCD care, relationship and couples work, and a strong bench of LGBTQIA+-affirming and culturally responsive clinicians, including Spanish-speaking therapists. Offices span the metro, and every therapist also offers telehealth to clients anywhere in California.
