Welcome
to Los Angeles Therapists
Hello! I ’m glad you found my website. This website
has been created to offer education, explanations of
common problems people seek treatment for and to highlight
my private practice in psychotherapy and contemporary
psychoanalysis. 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 different relationships; the ones with others,
the one with your self and the world. Together we 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. |

Throughout my career I have had the opportunity
to work in different types of mental health settings;
in-patient and out-patient psychiatric hospitals, drug
and alcohol treatment programs, eating disorder programs
and sexual addiction out-patient program and I was fortunate
to have worked in the John Bradshaw in-patient and out-patient
codependency treatment program here in Los Angeles.
Through my experience I have developed these areas of
expertise; addiction
treatment, drug & alcohol abuse, sex addiction
and eating
disorders, relapse and relapse prevention, co
dependency, adults with
childhood trauma and abuse, adult
children of alcoholics, depression,
anxiety, stress,
grief and loss, relationship
issues, marital and couples counseling, pre-marital
counseling, those single and wanting a relationship
and people who are seeking to make a change in their
life.
Please make yourself comfortable, enjoy, feel free
to roam around and comeback often as I try to update
this site. Please remember that all feedback and questions
are greatly appreciated and encouraged. You can also
