Hello! My name is Madison Besser and I am a Licensed Marriage & Family psychotherapist in Los Angeles, CA. My practice is rooted in the belief that the only way to move out of anything is by going through. I believe mental health is about figuring out ways to take care of ourselves holistically, focusing on how our minds and bodies are connected. My mission is to collaborate with each client to identify the issues that concern them, and develop a compassionate and effective plan to address them. These steps can empower clients to trust their abilities to lead healthier, more satisfying lives.

I work with my clients to establish a safe environment in which they can receive comprehensive mental health care. I believe that people do the best they can at any given time. I focus on modeling and teaching effective ways of communicating. I work to empower my clients to improve their outcomes by examining assumptions, being an open listener, and working on ways for them to communicate their needs effectively. Human survival depends on how well we communicate, whether through verbal or non-verbal cues, or conscious or unconscious decisions. I help my clients to look inward to facilitate a path toward a more balanced life.
