Getting to know Joseph Pickman
Hi there, I'm Joseph!
Greetings. I'm Joe Pickman, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Los Angeles. I hold a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University. I support adults, couples, adolescents, and families through life's challenges, aiming to improve relationships and overall well-being. I offer Telehealth for all California residents and in-person sessions for those in L.A.
My approach
My therapeutic approach is tailored to each individual's needs, blending psychodynamic, attachment-focused, and behavioral methods. For some clients, I use EMDR and IFS to help reframe traumatic experiences and break unhelpful patterns.
My focus
I offer culturally responsive therapy for adults at all life stages, focusing on trauma's impact, the connection between thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and change motivation. Specializing in sexuality, desire, dysfunction, addictive behaviors, evolving sexual and gender identities, non-monogamy, and codependency, I am fully LGBTQIA-affirming.
My communication style
Together, we may confront trauma, negative self-beliefs, internalized judgment, shame, forgotten strengths, and burdens. My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. By actively listening and providing validation and understanding, I will gently guide you through your thoughts and feelings.
My journey to mental healthcare
I've always been fascinated by the human mind and how personal histories shape experiences and behaviors. Throughout my own therapeutic journey, I encountered support and insights that helped me grow and heal. This inspired me to become a therapist, hoping to provide others with the same guidance and empathy that positively impacted my life.
My goals for you
Through our work, we will identify your symptoms, how they formed, when they get triggered, and new alternatives you can adopt to experience greater freedom in your life.

I needed to find the best and researching on Rula I came across the very best for my specific needs. Joseph was kind to guide me through difficult times, he was assertive when I needed to get back on right path and humble and open to learn from one another. There is no time to waste with him, you get to work, thank you for the good work. I will always be grateful reflecting the light I got back from you.
