About Hassan
The most important thing for you to know about me is that I care about supporting my community(s), and I'll care about supporting you. I'll meet you where you're at, and support you in meeting your goals, as long as you're committed to meeting them. I work with groups, couples, families, and individuals ages 13-80. I'm passionate about: * being a resource to individuals, regardless of race, class, or creed. * being a resource to underserved and disenfranchised communities - including BIPOc communities. * Supporting interracial couples, and multi-ethnic families. I have an integrative approach, and love to incorporate the following therapy models/modalities in practice:  * Internal Family Systems  * Emotion Focused Therapy * Narrative Therapy * Motivational Interviewing (Theory of Change) I believe change happens when people are witnessed 3 times: in conflict, in recovery, and in proximity to an ideal version of themself. I believe we move forward after all of the "best and worst parts" of us are seen, and reminded they are capable of being validated, safe, healed, and loved. I support those are ready to navigate change with: * family conflict * phase of life changes  * grief * depression * anxiety * conflict with boundaries * couples and intimacy related issues. * Cross-cultural relationship issues If any of this resonates with you, reach out for a consultation: (213) 973-8278. I’m looking forward to connecting with you!
For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?
If what you're doing right now is now longer working for you, let me introduce you to something that might.
What do therapy sessions with you look like?
I offer free 15-minute consultations, and invite clients to move forward with routine sessions if we seem like a good fit. If insured with Aetna, Optum, UMR, or United, then consultations and appointments can be arranged through https://therapyforpeaceofmind.clientsecure.me/request/date?currentDate=2025-09-01&currentTimeZone=America%2FLos_Angeles . Out-of-pocket sessions can be arranged through https://damian-fowler.clientsecure.me/request/service .
How does couples therapy work and how can it help?
A lot of relationships have a few things in common: a need for clear love, communication, boundaries, respect, and I’ve explored that with several intersections of identity. If you can actively listen to your partner, we can restructure the way that you have conversations, and help you meet each other's needs.
