Getting to know Amanda Burback
Amanda Burback is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the founder of Mellow Therapy, a modern psychotherapy practice in West Los Angeles. She holds a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Loyola Marymount University and a Bachelor’s degree from UCLA.
Amanda works with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, relationship issues, perfectionism, and major life transitions. Many of her clients are thoughtful, high-functioning professionals who hold themselves to high standards while quietly managing a great deal beneath the surface.
Her approach is warm, honest, collaborative, and evidence-based. She draws from EMDR, CBT, DBT, and talk therapy to help clients better understand their patterns, process difficult experiences, build emotional resilience, and create meaningful change in their relationships, careers, and daily lives.
Amanda works best with clients who are ready to do deeper therapeutic work, get honest about what is no longer serving them, and engage in therapy with care, intention, and curiosity. Her style is supportive and grounded, while also helping clients challenge old narratives and move toward lasting change.
Amanda offers both in-person therapy in a thoughtfully designed West Los Angeles office and virtual therapy for clients who prefer the flexibility of online sessions. Her goal is to create a calm, human, and personalized therapy experience for clients who are ready to invest in themselves and reconnect with who they are.

What is your typical process for working with clients?
Therapy sessions are 50min long and tailored to meet each individual patient's unique needs and goals. While each session may be different depending on the individual and their specific treatment plan, here is a general idea of what a typical therapy session might look like:
Check-In: At the beginning of the session, I will likely ask you how you've been since your last session and if there's anything specific you'd like to discuss or work on during the session.
Discussion: We will engage in a conversation about the topics or issues you're working on in therapy. I may ask questions to help you explore your thoughts and feelings about a particular situation or issue.
Skill Building: Depending on the therapy approach being used, I may work with you to develop skills or coping strategies to help you manage your symptoms or improve your overall well-being.
Homework: I may assign you "homework" between sessions, such as practicing a new coping skill or completing a thought record.
Wrap-Up: At the end of the session, I will likely summarize what you discussed, review any homework assignments, and schedule your next appointment.
It's important to note that therapy is a collaborative process, and I will work with you to develop a treatment plan that meets your specific needs and goals. You are encouraged to ask questions, provide feedback, and communicate openly with me throughout the therapy process.
