Why Choose Individual Therapy?

Why Choose Individual Therapy?

Some clients come in already in motion. They may be processing a breakup, navigating burnout, or reckoning with the past in a way they can’t ignore anymore. Others don’t have a clear reason, just a sense that something’s stuck or missing or worn out. You don’t need a crisis to belong here. You just need a desire to look more closely and a therapist who knows how to hold the weight of it with you.

Individual therapy isn’t a one-size-fits-all experience. Some weeks are quiet and reflective. Others are loud, layered, tangled. You might come in with a list. You might come in with nothing but a feeling. Both are valid. You and your therapist follow what’s real, even if it’s messy, unfinished, or hard to name.

Inside Individual Therapy at Expansive Therapy

Inside Individual Therapy at Expansive Therapy

Inside Individual Therapy at Expansive Therapy

Therapy at Expansive doesn’t feel like a performance review. You don't have to say the “right” thing or checking emotional boxes. Our LA therapists bring care that’s informed by lived experience, trauma training, and real curiosity about what it’s like to move through the world as you. That includes the parts of you that feel strong, exhausted, confused, or contradictory often all at once.

Some clients walk in after wrapping a shift in Culver City. Others log off work in Highland Park, take a breath, and drive across town in silence. By the time you get here, you’ve already done something hard. Our job is to meet you from that placem and keep the door open for whatever comes next.

The Experience of Individual Therapy Sessions

The Experience of Individual Therapy Sessions

Your first few sessions might feel like circling the edge of something. You don’t need a perfect summary or even a clear starting point. The pace, rhythm, and structure of therapy will be shaped by what you actually need.

Over time, your sessions might hold a mix of reflection, grief, problem-solving, processing, silence, or laughter. You’ll get more comfortable noticing what’s coming up in the moment, and exploring why it hits the way it does. Our therapists know how to be with what’s hard without trying to fix it too fast. That steadiness can change things.

Why We’re Chosen for Individual Therapy Support in LA

Our clients come to us looking for more than just a place to vent once a week. They’re craving therapy that feels intentional, culturally aware, and emotionally attuned. For many, it’s the first time they’ve worked with a therapist who actually listens without needing a glossary, and who isn’t afraid to go deeper than surface-level coping skills.

At Expansive, individual therapy is shaped by the person in the room. Our therapists bring a mix of lived experience, clinical insight, and real presence, which means you won’t be asked to shrink yourself to fit a model. Clients tell us they feel seen here, often in ways they didn’t expect. That’s not accidental. It’s the work.

"Megan is one of the most honest, authentic, empathetic humans I have had the pleasure of being around. Her questions make me think and how she has helped how I have reframe certain moments or situations in my life which have been a game changer for me."

Making Sense of Therapy Coverage

Making Sense of Therapy Coverage

Making Sense of Therapy Coverage

We’re out-of-network providers, which means you can work with a therapist at Expansive even if we’re not listed in your insurance company’s directory. If you have a PPO or POS plan, we’ll verify your benefits for you and handle claim submissions.

Our rates vary by therapist and service, and we’re intentional about keeping things transparent and accessible compared to most private-pay therapy in LA. If you’re not sure what your plan covers, we’ll walk you through it before you commit to anything.
