Azize Coskun, LMFT
Owner & Founder
I am a licensed therapist in private practice treating individual adults, couples, families and teens.
For over 16 years now I have been working with some of the most difficult and challenging aspects that adolescents and their families face in their lives. I have worked in:
- Locked and unlocked settings
- Public and private sectors including locked residential community treatment facilities (CTF),
- Juvenile Hall
- Multiple group home settings
- Private practice offered
- In-home counseling to Probation youth and their families
My background in law enforcement adds to my knowledge and expertise in Juvenile Justice issues (and your teen). In addition to my practice, I am also a sworn peace officer for Los Angeles County Probation Department. I work in a specialized unit called Functional Family Therapy.
I work with teenagers and their families who are involved in the Juvenile Justice System. I specialize in adolescent psychotherapy and am well versed in the troubles and issues that families and teenagers who have been introduced into the Juvenile Justice system face.
My education includes a Masters of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from California State University Northridge. My past experience includes providing psychotherapy to adult, teen, and child clients through agencies that I have worked at in the Southern California area.
Although I am flexible in utilizing a method and psychotherapy approach that best suits my client the following modalities are areas that I specialize in.
I use cognitive-behavioral therapy to offer specific skills for communication, self-awareness, and better access to your emotions, thoughts, and beliefs. We collaborate together on helping you tolerate your feelings and understand the unconscious meanings behind your life choices. Our goal is to create balance in your life, and help you live the life you deserve–one filled with abundance, fulfillment, inner peace, and happiness.
Other methods I utilize are Object relations, DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) and Functional Family Therapy. I am a member of the California Association for Marriage Family Therapists and Psychology Today. I also participate in ongoing intensive weekly training and consultation, and am committed to continually learning new ways of practicing psychotherapy.
