Selecting a therapist is one of the more meaningful decisions a person can face. You're not just selecting a service -- you're choosing someone to support you in the difficult parts of your life. For those in Silver Lake, Los Feliz, Atwater Village, Echo Park, and the nearby areas, having a qualified, experienced therapist in your neighborhood can make that decision feel a little less daunting.
Jenny Kelch is a licensed psychotherapist serving Silver Lake, providing individual therapy, couples therapy, and specialized EMDR treatment for adults managing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship difficulties. Her practice draws clients from across the LA Eastside, including Highland Park, Glassell Park, Eagle Rock, and East Hollywood, as well as virtual clients throughout California.
What EMDR Therapy Is and Why It Helps
EMDR -- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing -- is one of the most extensively researched trauma treatments available. It operates by helping the brain reprocess memories that were incorrectly filed during trauma. Most people who have been through something difficult know the feeling: a smell, a sound, or an casual comment sends you immediately back to a moment you assumed you had processed. EMDR targets that at the neurological level, not just the mental one.
As an EMDR therapist serving Silver Lake and Los Feliz, Jenny pairs this approach with somatic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and psychodynamic methods. That kind of flexibility makes a difference because no two people arrive at therapy with the same history or the same circumstances. The goal is always to fit the treatment to the client, not the other way around.
Individual Therapy for Anxiety, Depression, and Grief
Anxiety and depression are among the most prevalent reasons people seek therapy in Los Angeles -- and among the most overlooked. The pace of life in a city like LA tends to keep going, postpone, or dismiss what you're feeling until it becomes impossible to ignore.
Individual therapy with Jenny creates a steady, supportive space to slow down and actually explore what's happening. Whether you're working through a specific loss, a long season of low mood, panic that seems to come out of nowhere, or grief that doesn't follow any expected timeline, therapy can help you recognize the pattern beneath the symptom. Clients travel from Silver Lake, Atwater Village, Echo Park, and Mount Washington, as well as online from anywhere in California.
Couples Therapy in Silver Lake
Relationship struggles don't often arrive with a label. More often they show up as the same argument that keeps recurring, a deepening distance that neither partner can quite name, or a major life decision -- marriage, children, a career change -- that suddenly reveals a fault line neither person recognized.
Couples therapy in Silver Lake with Jenny focuses on uncovering the root patterns driving discord rather than just treating the surface behavior. That means looking at attachment history, communication patterns, and the unvoiced expectations both partners introduce into the relationship. Whether you're in crisis or simply feeling stagnant, the work is about creating something stronger -- not just managing day to day.
In-Person and Virtual Sessions Across Los Angeles
Jenny's office is located at 2812 Avenel Street in the Atwater Village neighborhood, close to Silver Lake, Los Feliz, Eagle Rock, Highland Park, and Glassell Park. For clients who want to avoid travel or who live at a distance, virtual sessions are available throughout California with the same level of care and structure as in-person appointments.
If you've been considering starting therapy -- or coming back to it -- this is a sensible place to begin. Get in touch through the contact page to arrange a free consultation and learn whether Jenny's style is the right choice for where you are right now.
