Joanitis Psychological Services

Our commitment is to meet you exactly where you are in your journey. We’ll take the time to listen deeply to your story and your unique needs without judgment. From there, we will partner with you to set meaningful and achievable goals, ensuring that your path forward is one that feels authentic to you. Therapy is a collaborative process, and we are here to support you every step of the way—celebrating your strengths and navigating challenges together. Our ultimate goal is to equip you with the tools and insights you need to move toward lasting health and profound healing. Dr. Christina Joanitis I'm Dr. Christina Joanitis. I'm a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in the South Bay, CA. For the past decade, I have worked in a private practice setting providing individual and couples therapy as well as psychological assessment. I am passionate about seeing individuals find healing and wholeness in their life. By providing a safe and supportive environment for individuals to emote, process past hurts and traumas, and identify unhealthy behavioral patterns, I work with my clients to normalize emotions, challenge cognitive distortions, and develop a healthier view of self. Whether you are coming into therapy for the first time and need some help feeling comfortable, or whether you are looking for your 20th therapist and just want a safe landing place, I am here to support you. I also work hard to offer an unbiased and nonjudgemental space at whatever stage of your faith journey you land on (or not at all!). I work with many individuals from the LGBTQIA+ population and from a wide range of cultural and religious backgrounds. My job is not to tell you what to believe but to support you on your journey of becoming the best version of you, you can be. I look forward to meeting you! Michael Joanitis Hey there! My name is Mike and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the South Bay. I don't believe therapy is about fixing what is broken. Instead, I see it as a collaborative partnership where we look at the survival strategies you built to get through tough times, and decide which of those strategies have served you, and which you are ready to let go of. If you are feeling weighed down by anxiety, perfectionism, or the heavy burden of trying to keep everyone else happy, I want to help you find some relief. In our sessions, we will focus on three key areas: 1. Understanding your story 2. Catching the thought loops 3. Moving forward with purpose A significant part of my practice is dedicated to helping people heal from religious trauma and spiritual abuse, a field where I hold a clinical certification. I know how painful and disorienting it is to untangle your identity, navigate the loss of community, and process the deep-seated guilt that often follows a break from rigid dogmatic systems. My goal is to offer a soft landing spot where you can process the grief, find your voice, and rebuild a grounded, meaningful life that is entirely your own.
