Helping individuals and couples+ heal trauma, untangle old patterns, and finally stop living in survival mode.
This is trauma-informed, evidence-based therapy that goes deeper than learning how to cope. If you keep overthinking, overworking, over-functioning, people-pleasing, picking fights with anyone who breathes in your direction, or shutting down, it’s time for something different.
Therapy here is about helping your nervous system finally get the memo that the danger is over—so you can stop bracing for impact and start feeling like the version of yourself you’ve been missing: grounded, free, playful, connected, and maybe even joyful.
Less surviving.
More living.
Serving Pasadena, Los Altos, Westlake Village, Malibu, Palm Beach, Atlantic Beach, Pinecrest, Miami Shores, and online throughout California and Florida.
Healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken—it’s about reconnecting with the parts of yourself that have been carrying too much for too long.
Magena Ammen, LMFT, combines professional expertise with real-life understanding to create a space where clients feel safe, supported, and fully themselves. Since 2013, she has helped individuals and couples+ work through trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions.
Whether you’re seeking weekly therapy or a more immersive therapy intensive, you’ll find a compassionate partner in your healing journey.
"You Don't Have to carry it alone anymore."
Everyone’s healing journey looks different. That’s why services are designed to meet your unique needs, goals, and pace.
Just you and me improving your mental health
For couples+ to get their groove back
For couples+ or individuals to go deeper
Some healing needs more than 50 minutes.
If weekly therapy feels like emotional whack-a-mole—where this week’s crisis buries last week’s breakthrough—a therapy intensive might be exactly what your nervous system has been asking for.
Therapy Intensives give you the time to slow down, build safety, and stay with the work long enough for something to actually shift. No rushing. No hitting pause just as things get real.
Available for individuals and relationships.
In-person in Pasadena, California, or online throughout California and Florida.
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to figure it out alone.
