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team is here to meet you where you are and help you build the connection, clarity, joy, and liberation you deserve—no outdated therapy rules, no perfectionism, no having to pretend you have it all together.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 personal flaws. 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.
In fact, our brains and nervous systems are literally wired for connection—research shows that having quality relationships leads to longer lives! We cultivate empathic relationships with our clients where both parties are impacted and learn from one another.
Our relationship & couple therapists specialize in helping you improve the quality of your connections by increasing the intimacy in your relationships, encouraging curiosity, promoting vulnerability and emotional risk-taking, practicing healthy boundary setting, advocating for your relational needs, and making agreements that actually work for all parties.
TRAUMA
Traumatic experiences impact all of us.
Any event that overwhelms our capacity to cope can be stored in our bodies as a trauma response, especially if we didn’t receive the social and emotional support that we needed at the time.
For many people, the mere act of participating in a nonjudgmental, empathic relationship that moves at a pace you are comfortable with, is healing in-and-of-itself.
Using a somatic approach, our team of trauma-informed therapists work with you to help you build compassion for your experience, understand your triggers, develop techniques to manage big feelings and challenging moments, actually start to rewire your nervous system, and find healing through resilience.
CULTURE & CONTEXT
We live in an increasingly divided world that moves us away from our basic need for connection.
We feel ashamed when we can’t do it all on our own.
Our social justice-informed approach brings in thoughtful consideration of our clients’ cultures, intersectional identities, and the societal factors influencing each of us. We use a values-forward style that surveys your environment and context and recognizes that issues of social justice and oppression may be contributing to your distress.
We are here to help you understand mental health symptoms as reasonable responses to an unjust world and begin to move towards increased liberation and pleasure. Together we will embrace feelings and actions that empower you & help to better the world.
