Kindman & Co. in highland park, ca
Relational therapy for individuals, groups, & intimate relationships
We’re here to help you feel seen, heard, and understood— exactly as you are
Kindman & Co. is a Los Angeles-based psychotherapy group specializing in inclusive therapy with a social justice lens.
We are a diverse team of therapists who deeply honor your lived experience and the many intersections of your identity.
We understand how painful it can be to feel disconnected from your true self, to struggle in your relationships, to carry the weight of anxiety and emotional overwhelm, to face the tenderness of grief, and to navigate the uncertainty that arises during major life transitions or moments when you’re questioning your values, identity, direction, or sense of purpose.
Located in Highland Park, we provide healing support and therapy for adults, teens, couples, partners, families, and groups across the Eastside of Los Angeles—including Northeast L.A., Los Feliz, Silver Lake, Echo Park, Eagle Rock, Glassell Park, Mount Washington, Pasadena, and Downtown L.A.
Therapy that meets you where you are — not where you’re “supposed” to be
At Kindman & Co., we offer relational, identity-affirming therapy for individuals, couples, and diverse relationships across Los Angeles and virtually throughout California.
Our work supports clients in strengthening communication, expressing emotions more openly, exploring identity on your terms, healing from trauma, and embracing the beautiful messiness of being human in an uncertain world—while recognizing that healing isn’t just individual; it's rooted in community, connection, and collective care.
Whether you’re seeking individual therapy, intimate relationship/couples therapy, or support for political stress and climate anxiety, our team is here to meet you where you are and help you build the connection, clarity, joy, and liberation you deserve—no outdated therapy rules, no perfectionism, no having to pretend you have it all together.
We’re dedicated to supporting the collective healing of our community
We believe that individual healing is intertwined with collective liberation. And that cultivating authentic, nourishing relationships fuels meaningful social change.
Our team is here to help you build exactly that. We want you to feel grounded in your identity, affirmed in your experiences, and deeply supported by the people you love.
For couples and intimate partners, we help you strengthen communication, cultivate emotional safety, and create a relationship where each of you gets to be your most authentic self.
Because healing doesn’t happen in isolation, we also offer therapy groups and communal spaces that remind you: you don’t have to navigate healing—or the world—alone.
we deeply value human connection & take an anti-oppressive stance
As relational and feminist therapists, we lead with our values—centering care, collaboration, and liberation in every session.
Our team is especially dedicated to supporting BIPOC clients, LGBTQIA2S+ communities, people exploring non-monogamy & expansive relationships, and those navigating racial trauma, identity exploration, or creative and nontraditional life paths.
At Kindman & Co., we believe authenticity is an act of resistance—so you won’t find any old-school, “blank slate” therapists here!
We show up as real people with real feelings, humor, messiness, and complex lived experiences. Therapy works best when two humans show up fully, so your therapist brings shared vulnerability and genuine presence—you’ll know them as a whole person, too.
We look forward to working alongside you as you deepen your connection to yourself, your relationships, and your communities.
our vision
Kindman & co. exists to help create thriving communities by nourishing intimate relationships, healing trauma, & bringing about positive social change.
we see you.
Human beings are social creatures. We need connection and the support of others to thrive. Distress gets a bad reputation—it’s often seen as an indicator of something “wrong” with us individually, and we’re taught that it’s our responsibility to fix our “broken” parts on our own.
We disagree.
There is nothing wrong with you.
We see your sadness, worry, and loneliness as meaningful signals—not overreactions or problems. Your distress is valid feedback about the challenges you’re navigating in your environment, your relationships, and a world that doesn’t treat everyone with the same care or dignity.
Your struggles aren’t just individual; they’re shaped by culture, community, oppression, expectation, and connection. Whether you’ve experienced racism, transphobia, fatphobia, ableism, or any other form of marginalization, there’s a therapist at Kindman & Co. who is ready to join with you towards liberation. As Esther Perel says: “the quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives.”
We’re here to help you understand the significance of your distress, build communication & emotional skills, and get the support every human deserves.
Each and every one of us innately possesses strengths to live more enriching, joyful lives; let us help you to reconnect to your strengths to find wellbeing.
our ideal client: you.
You are welcome here regardless of race, ethnicity, sexuality, gender identity, ability, immigration status, or religion. You don’t have to be anyone but you when you’re at Kindman & Co.
how our therapists help
RELATIONSHIPS
We believe that meaningful connection is at the heart of our well-being.
Our brains and nervous systems are literally wired for closeness—research shows supportive relationships help us live longer, healthier, and fuller lives!
At Kindman & Co., we build deeply empathic partnerships with our clients where everyone in the therapy room matters. We believe therapy works best when two real humans show up and shape the space together.
No clinical robots here—just real humans committed to connection.
Our relationship & couple therapists specialize in helping you strengthen intimacy, expand curiosity, take brave emotional risks, set & honor your boundaries, advocate for your relational needs, and create agreements that feel fair, doable, and nourishing for everyone involved.
TRAUMA
Trauma touches every one of us.
Not just through “big” events, but through any experience that overwhelms our capacity to cope that becomes stored in the body—especially when you weren’t given the care, protection, or validation you needed. Trauma isn’t just what happened; it’s what happened without support.
Healing starts with relationship. For many people, being met with empathy, attunement, and zero judgment—at a pace that actually feels safe—can be life-changing.
Our trauma therapists use somatic, body-based, and nervous-system-informed approaches to help you build compassion for your experiences, understand your triggers, develop tools for managing big feelings, and gently rewire your nervous system toward safety, resilience, and grounding.
We also hold space for racial trauma & identity wounds shaped by a world that too often polices, dismisses, or denies your humanity. Your healing is resistance, and we honor that.
CULTURE & CONTEXT
We’re living in an increasingly divided world that moves us away from our basic need for connection.
It’s more than any one person can hold alone and too often, we’re taught to feel ashamed when we struggle.
Our social justice-informed approach brings the full context of your life—your cultures, intersectional identities, communities, relationships, and the systemic forces that shape your experience. We look at the actual environment you’re trying to survive in, not just the symptoms you carry.
We use a values-forward style that explores your environment and context and recognizes that issues of social injustice and oppression may be contributing to your distress.
We help you understand mental health symptoms as reasonable responses to an unjust world, not evidence that something is “wrong” with you. Together, we work toward greater liberation, pleasure, joy, and agency—we’ll help you embrace feelings and actions that empower you & better the world.
