Bullying and Self-Worth Therapist

Help Them Heal. Rebuild Confidence. Remind Them That They Matter.

In our therapy sessions, teens will learn how to:

    •    Process the pain and fear associated with bullying

    •    Identify and challenge negative beliefs they’ve internalized

    •    Rebuild confidence, self-advocacy, and assertiveness

    •    Learn strategies for managing conflict and social exclusion

    •    Set boundaries and communicate effectively

    •    Explore their identity and strengths beyond peer judgment

    •    Develop coping skills for anxiety, shame, or isolation

    •    Feel supported, safe, and reconnected to their value

Bullying—whether it’s in person, behind a screen, or even subtle exclusion—can leave lasting emotional wounds. For teenagers, it often strikes at the heart of their self-esteem, making them feel unsafe, invisible, or ashamed. It’s more than just “kids being kids”—it’s trauma that can shape how they see themselves for years to come.

As a licensed psychotherapist and former medical doctor, I help teens process their experiences with bullying, strengthen their self-worth, and build the tools they need to navigate social dynamics with resilience and courage. Whether they’re being targeted, witnessing it, or unsure how to speak up, therapy provides a space where they can feel heard, empowered, and supported.

No teen should have to carry the weight of bullying alone. Therapy can help them remember their worth—and reclaim their voice. Let’s help them stand tall again, not just in the world—but in their own eyes.

I provide therapy in Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Venice, Marina Del Rey, Culver City, Mar Vista, Playa Del Rey, West Los Angeles, Pacific Palisades, Palms, and Santa Monica.
