Welcome! My name is Tiffany and my pronouns are she/her/hers. I was born and raised in occupied Tongva land (Los Angeles), and I am the child of Chinese-Vietnamese refugees. I speak fluent English and conversational Mandarin and Cantonese. I am not comfortable with conducting full psychotherapy sessions in Mandarin or Cantonese but am happy to substitute Mandarin or Cantonese words or phrases throughout the session. I was a first-generation college student and a student organizer as an undergraduate and graduate student. I hold a Masters in Asian American studies (ethnic studies) and a Masters in Social Work. I have been practicing as a therapist in community mental health settings as well as acute inpatient psychiatry. I only work with folks 18+. I have extensively worked with formerly incarcerated folks and folks who identified as unhoused, refugee, immigrant, and victims of sexual assault.

Hi! I’m Dayna Adams, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and I have the privilege of working with individuals and families from all walks of life. Over the years, I’ve gained valuable experience helping people navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and stress. My focus is on providing the support and guidance you need to create lasting, positive change in your life. I’m passionate about creating a compassionate, collaborative space where you can explore your challenges and work toward meaningful solutions, all while feeling heard, understood, and empowered.

Hello, I’m Makando Mutanda, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Los Angeles and the founder of Sela, an integrative therapy practice. I created Sela as a space for individuals and couples seeking care that attends to the mind, body, emotions, relationships, and lived experience. As a first-generation immigrant born in Kitwe, Zambia, I bring a personal understanding of how culture, identity, and belonging shape the way people move through the world. These experiences influence how I listen and how I approach therapy, with attention to context, nuance, and the many layers that inform a person’s internal process. I often work with people who feel emotionally overwhelmed or weighed down by ongoing responsibilities, relational dynamics, professional demands, or long-standing patterns that no longer feel supportive. I also support couples seeking to better understand one another, strengthen communication, and move through periods of change together.I have over six years of clinical experience and received my graduate training in Social Work and Public Health at the University of Southern California. My work has included community mental health settings, university counseling centers and PhD training programs. I support individuals and couples navigating relationships, identity exploration, life transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and intimacy concerns.My approach integrates evidence-based therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychodynamic therapy, attachment-based work, and somatic practices. I work collaboratively with clients and believe that people carry insight and wisdom shaped through experience. My role is to walk alongside clients as they develop understanding, cultivate inner resources, and tend to their healing in ways that can continue beyond therapy and be integrated into daily life. Thank you for taking the time to explore how therapy at Sela might support you.

Hello and welcome! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist (LMFT) based in California. I received my Masters Degree from Phillips Graduate Institute and have been providing therapeutic services in a variety of settings with multiple populations for over 14 years.

With years of experience in the field, I bring a deep understanding of the complexities of human relationships and the impact they have on your overall well-being. I draw from evidence-based therapeutic modalities, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, attachment and family systems theory, to help you navigate through your challenges and achieve the outcomes you desire. In our sessions, we will work collaboratively to explore your concerns, uncover underlying patterns, and develop practical strategies for overcoming obstacles.

I am a grounded and compassionate clinician who believes healing begins with feeling genuinely seen, understood, and safe. Growing up in a military family and spending decades in first responder roles as a flight medic, deputy sheriff, and firefighter have taught me how deeply connection, trust, and stability shape our emotional lives—especially in environments where vulnerability feels costly. I bring that understanding into the room through a warm, attuned, trauma-informed approach that helps clients reconnect with themselves and with the people who matter most. I value authenticity, clear communication, and a collaborative therapeutic relationship, and I am committed to helping each person build secure foundations, navigate painful patterns, and experience greater resilience, steadiness, and connection.

My expertise is in child and adolescent anxiety reduction, OCD, autism and ADHD. My goal is to provide education to kids and their parents about anxiety and related and co-occurring conditions. I also frequently treat phobias, separation anxiety, emotion regulation issues, school refusal, learning disabilities, trauma, giftedness and 2e.

I am also experienced in helping adults and children navigate issues related to divorce including coparenting, custody planning, divorce navigation from considering separation (discernment) through divorce mediation/proceedings to post judgment. I also have expertise in helping adults navigate post separation abuse, domestic violence and coercive control.

Through years of one:one relationship-building experience, supervision from expert clinicians, comprehensive training (inc. EMDR) and USC coursework, I’m grateful to have developed clinical skills and strategies that meaningfully assist my work with clients. As a former ad strategist turned educator, my pre-therapy background allows me to relate and hold space for young professionals.

I'm have practiced Marriage and Family Therapy for 18 years. My approach to therapy is adapted to the individual and their life experience when they enter therapy. Generally speaking, I take a person-centered approach to therapy while drawing upon a range of techniques and theories. I have assisted people with mood disorders and various diagnosis, helped individuals and couples create more fulfilling relationships, and facilitated individuals in finding solutions to their problems.

I typically work with individuals and couples, but have also worked with families, adolescents, and children. I have worked with mood disorders, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD & OCD. I also have extensive experience working with couples and individuals with relationship issues.

Currently, I am a psychologist in family medicine at UCLA part-time. I earned my Ph.D. in the 90s from Howard U and a Master's from Boston U, and my career has included psychotherapy with adolescents, adults, and couples or families. I have also taught graduate students in clinical psychology and I teach creative writing at UCLA Extension.

I believe deeply in the power of connection, healing, and human resilience. I’ve spent over 20 years walking alongside children, adults, and families through some of life’s hardest seasons.

What motivates me the most in this work is how meaningful change and healing can occur when a person feels truly seen, supported, and valued. I’ve witnessed incredible strength in the face of hardship. I’m continually inspired by the courage it takes to show up and do the work. It’s sacred work, and I’m grateful every day to be doing it.
