Dr. Serena Blake is a licensed clinical psychologist (PsyD) based in Los Angeles, CA, with eight years of experience and over 500 client sessions. She blends evidence-based approaches—like cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness—with compassionate, personalized care to help you overcome anxiety, strengthen relationships, and heal from trauma.
Whether you meet in her Maplewood Drive office or connect virtually via Zoom, Dr. Blake is committed to creating a safe, supportive space for you to thrive. Her therapeutic approach combines psychodynamic and humanistic methods, emphasizing the importance of the therapeutic relationship in facilitating meaningful change.
Therapy can be a space where you invest in yourself—
one of the highest forms of self-care.
You may be led to therapy by anxiety, depression, relationship stress, past or recent trauma, grief and loss, self-esteem issues, or challenges with family, parenting, or parental relationships. Whatever the source of your stress, you don't have to face it alone. Therapy offers you the time and space to work toward wellness and peace.
