Welcome
to Los Angeles Therapists
“As individual persons, the
conversations we engage in define the limits of our
conscious awareness of ourselves and others. Minds need
other minds to see themselves. Isolated minds know everything
about everything, except about themselves” Roger
Hastings
I think the quote by Roger Hastings well states how
I think about psychotherapy. It is coming out of our
isolation that help us learn about ourselves, something
that many of us didn't really have growing up. We might
have had parents or caretakers around but sometimes
they fell short in mirroring who we were, are and what
we could be. So I ’m glad you found your way here.
My name is Licia Ginne, I have been a licensed Marriage
& Family Therapist for over 25 years and have been
working in the mental health and addiction field for
30 years. My private practice is in Santa Monica, a
beach city in Los Angeles County, California. I work
with adults in individual, couples and group therapy.
People seek out help when they feel they have run out
of options to solve a particular problem in their life.
I believe our limitations come from having a narrowed
view of the world and feeling limited in our options.
We acquired our world view from our families & others;
from how they reacted and responded to us, how relationships
were formed and how we felt others viewed and experienced
us. I will often connect your experience today to these
experiences of the past. These relationships have shaped
who we are today. Together we are able to talk about
all these relationships, to understand your motivations,
beliefs, identify your emotions and reactions and explore
your needs and wants. As our relationship grows so does
your experience in the world, more options appear and
feel possible.
