Getting to know Irma Breakfield
I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Los Angeles, California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I hold a doctorate in higher education and earned my Master's in Marriage and Child Counseling from Phillips Graduate University, as well as a Bachelor's degree from California State University, Northridge. I specialize in anxiety, stress, and eating disorders, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients make progress and start feeling better.
My approach
I use a holistic approach tailored to each client's needs, most frequently employing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy within a trauma-informed lens. This empowers clients to make the changes they desire, as both modalities help build a framework to work from.
My focus
My style fits individuals facing challenges related to life transitions, often presenting as anxiety, depression, and stress. I help clients navigate these periods and develop skills to feel better about themselves and cultivate a more positive outlook.
My communication style
My communication style is calm, accommodating, and personable. I want clients to feel comfortable talking about anything, and I pride myself on listening without judgment.
My journey to mental healthcare
Since I was very young, I wanted to dedicate my life to helping others. I deeply believe in the resilience of the human spirit and that meaningful change is always possible. Knowing your past does not define your future can be transformative-opening the door to growth, healing, and new possibilities. Creating a space where this change can happen is at the heart of my work.
My goals for you
I believe therapy is a collaborative process where we work together to better understand your experiences, challenges, and goals. My role is to provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions freely.
