Helena Nyhart

Associate Marriage and Family Therapist & Associate Professional Clinical Counselor

Los Angeles based therapist offering virtual and in-person therapy to adults, adolescents & couples.

About Me

I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) and Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC) providing virtual therapy to adults, couples and adolescents across California. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Communication and Women & Gender Studies from Santa Clara University and a Master's in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University, Los Angeles.

My clinical training was completed at the Southern California Counseling Center, where I worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds and life experiences. Currently, I work as a primary therapist at a residential treatment center for adolescents, supporting young people through some of the most formative and challenging periods of their lives.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship itself is a catalyst for healing. My integrative style is tailored to each individual's goals, drawing on evidence-based practices such as CBT, DBT and Attachment Theory to meet your unique needs.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in curiosity and empathy. I will support you in exploring relational patterns, processing past experiences, and moving toward a life of greater self-awareness and emotional resilience.

If you are ready to take the next step please reach out for a 15 minute free consultation call.

Services

Adults

Together we explore your story and identify your unique challenges, patterns of behaviors, past trauma and personal strengths. I utilize an integrative approach, drawing from a variety of theories including psychodynamic therapy, CBT, DBT and attachment theory to tailor treatment to best fit your needs. We work on building insight, developing coping tools, and moving toward a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

Adolescents

I work with adolescents ages 13 to 18 years old experiencing challenges in school, at home or with peers. I offer an empathetic and nonjudgemental space for tweens and teens to explore topics related to identity, confidence, values and goals. I am an affirming therapist and work with all of my clients to create a space of self-discovery, reflection and acceptance.

Couples

As with individual therapy I work with my client, the couple, to identify goals and growth areas. Using a blend of Emotionally Focused Therapy, principles of Gottman Method, family systems and attachment theory we'll explore the emotional patterns and attachment needs that shape your relationship. Together, we'll build tools to deepen trust, repair disconnection, and support a more secure and fulfilling partnership.

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy designed to help individuals heal from the impact of traumatic experiences and distressing life events. Through guided bilateral stimulation, EMDR allows the brain to reprocess stuck memories so they no longer feel overwhelming or defining. I use EMDR to support clients working through trauma, anxiety, grief, and painful experiences that continue to affect their daily lives — helping you move forward with greater freedom and resilience.
