I’m Vicki Botnick. I’m an LMFT psychotherapist offering individual and couple’s therapy in the Los Angeles area. I work with individuals and couples, teens and adults, all from various backgrounds and who all share the same goal: figuring out how to feel better. 

The issues and clients I work with:

I work with adults and teens navigating depression and anxiety, perfectionism and relationship challenges. My approach is both acutely sensitive and deeply analytical, encouraging you to probe into your past to find patterns and defenses that may be getting in the way of living your most rewarding life. 

I also have associates who work with me on their long journey to licensure, who specialize in additional areas such as trauma and neurodiversity. Whether you are struggling with your relationships, in your professional life or with self-esteem, we can help. 

Therapy is empathetic and collaborative, and relies on the strength of the relationship between the therapist and client. My style is warm and supportive, with a little spice—I’ll encourage you to dig deeper and to challenge your preconceptions.

My practice combines Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and depth psychology with practical solutions to immediate problems. If you want to examine issues in a more profound way, and are motivated to find better ways to approach the things in your life that are causing your pain, you'll enjoy working with me.
