Getting to know Ilita Beckham

Hi there, I'm Ilita! My name is Ilita Beckham, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in LA, working with clients all over California. I hold a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Phillips Graduate Institute. I work with children, teens, and adults who want to improve their quality of life, using a whatever-works approach to help you achieve your desired goals. My approach When we work together, I use a direct and strength-based approach to empower you. Solution Focused and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy are two approaches I most often use. Depending on your needs, other theoretical approaches may be incorporated as well. My focus I work with clients of all backgrounds, while specializing in the unique experiences and needs of BIPOC individuals. I assist them in decreasing emotional discomfort, increasing coping skills, and building self-esteem and confidence to better manage life's challenges at school, home, work, and in relationships. My communication style Though some topics can be serious, the general tone of our sessions is light and relaxed. I encourage everyone to come as they are and show up as they would in any setting. The more comfortable you feel, the more you'll get out of our time together. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a therapist began with a curiosity about people and has grown into a passion for witnessing each client's growth. My goals for you During our initial meeting, we'll set goals together. You'll have the opportunity to identify where you are now and where you want to be. Once those goals are set, our journey begins! My first session with you In addition to identifying your goals, our first session will be a time to get to know one another. You'll be able to share what's important to you and about you, so I can best support your journey.
