Hi! I’m Poppy Haines, I have worked in mental and behavioral health for over 20 years. I specialize in working with youth and individuals. My style is warm, collaborative, and truly integrative. 

Welcome! I'm Tori Smith, a licensed therapist in the South Bay of Los Angeles. I specialize in working with young professionals, graduate students, and anxious overthinkers who are feeling out of place, overwhelmed with self-doubt, and unable to trust their own decision making. I can help you discover the ways that your past experiences might be keeping you stuck and how to move beyond those patterns. With a holistic mind-body approach, I will help you find new ways to reconnect with the parts of your life that bring meaning and joy. I provide therapy to clients who are ready for change, and I specialize in treating anxiety and trauma holistically using a mind-body focus. I provide therapy online to California residents.

*TELETHERAPY SERVICES AVAILABLE*  Hi and welcome to my profile! If your looking to connect with yourself and others more deeply and feel confident in the decisions you make in your life, then I’m here to come along side and help you reach those goals. My approach to the therapy process is collaborative so that together we can work to accomplish your goals. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, low mood, past trauma, relationship issues, or a life transition, we can work together to uncover the underlying emotions and navigate the blind spots so that you can gain clarity and calmness in your self and in your relationships.  I use specific styles of therapy, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) as a way to help guide the therapeutic process. These styles help us explore strengths and transformation, while also navigating areas that keep us emotionally stuck.  I am truly inspired by the resilience of the human spirit and the bravery that people have when embarking on the difficult but necessary work of self-examination. I am committed to creating a safe and non-judgmental space where you can feel supported and understood, as we journey together in the therapy process.

Holistic, mindfulness-based psychotherapy

Every client has a unique set of circumstances and issues that they carry with them. Therefore, my approach to therapy involves tailoring a unique and collaborative treatment plan that focuses on reaching your specific goals. My treatment in therapy involves proven and evidenced based approaches that have been effective in research and in real life circumstances for decades with countless individuals, couples, and families. For the past several years I have committed to partnering with non-profits, hospitals, and community mental health clinics treating individuals, couples, and families with complex issues ranging from depression, anxiety, life stage distress, traumatic experiences, and cancer related mental health issues. My efforts within these frameworks has been to focus on and address my clients’ needs from a whole person approach. This translates into thoughtfully assessing the biological, psychological, and social components and stressors of each unique individual.

Stephanie is passionate about journeying alongside adults and adolescents as they experience the difficulties of life transitions and discover who they truly are. People often find themselves in painful relational patterns and spaces of internal suffering that hinder them from living the fulfilled life they desire. Stephanie believes that deeply exploring oneself from a holistic and creative posture is what allows people to authentically live in the freedom of who God called each of them to be. She believes that while many of us experience pain as a result of relational wounds, it is only within the context of relationship that true healing can be felt. Stephanie utilizes a Psychodynamic, Attachment and Relational approach, but incorporates other treatment modalities to cater to the uniqueness of each client. She enjoys working with people who suffer with the following issues: depression, anxiety, stage of life concerns, attachment issues, early childhood/developmental trauma, sexuality, spirituality, and relationship distress. Stephanie received her Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Biola University. She went on to obtain her Master's Degree from Azusa Pacific University.

You’re tired from a lifetime of feeling both 'too much' and yet 'not enough'. This overwhelming shame and guilt is preventing you from enjoying healthy connections to yourself and others. You show up readily for others but will not ‘burden' them when you are in need. You try so hard to hide your sensitivity, but know deep inside that this should be a beloved asset. Are you aching to discover yourself, to experience the joy of self acceptance and healthy attachment? Is holding a scarcity mindset or living a life impacted by emotional wounds and intergenerational patterns no longer serving you? You are ready to be seen and to heal. There is help to break the painful intergenerational patterns and heal the shame you are have been carrying. Imagine, being able to communicate your needs and your inner truth to yourself and others without fear. Your journey in a BIPOC or LGBTQ+ body deserves recognition. It is time for you to fall deeply in secure, authentic love with yourself and others. I am here if you have heard the call to transform painful patterns, to embrace your sensitivity, and to develop healthy connections.
