Professional statement

Larissa Adler is a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist based in Beverly Hills, CA specializing in working with young women and adolescent girls. Many of her clients come seeking support increasing assertiveness in their personal, professional and academic lives. Larissa is particularly interested in helping young woman create effective and healthy, emotional boundaries with parents, siblings, friends, co workers or significant others.

Therapy with Larissa is client centered and adheres to an eclectic style drawing upon Narrative based practices with a blend of Somatic and Cognitive Behavioral therapy. She works to help clients identity maladaptive thought patterns and identify the source of emotional triggers. Larissa also assists clients in connecting physical responses to external stressors so that woman can feel empowered to have control over how they respond to challenge instead of relying on impulse.

Sessions with Larissa have been described as warm, supportive and interactive. Larissa collaborates with clients to create a solid foundation for how to support themselves so that they can engage in meaningful and enjoyable relationships while maintaining a sense of calm and confidence throughout their lives.

Larissa meets with clients in person at her office in Beverly Hills, California as well as offers Telehealth sessions within the state of California.


Message to clients

It can often be helpful to have a copilot helping navigate through new experiences. We often take for granted life experience and forget that for young people graduating from high school, applying to college or graduate school, dating, getting a job, moving out of their parents’ house are all things they are doing for the first time. I offer a safe place for young woman to process and reflect on these new life experiences and make decisions about how best to proceed and create a personalized approach for how to handle anxiety, change and transition with which to draw upon throughout their life. I am passionate about helping young women develop and grow and consider it an honor to be invited on their journey to adulthood.
