About Einat Ezra, LMFT
My Journey Brought me here
I’m Einat Ezra, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #149380), dedicated to helping individuals heal, grow, and reconnect with their authentic selves. With specialized training in Brainspotting, EMDR, the RITTM trauma model by Dr. Karol Darsa, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, I bring a blend of evidence-based techniques and holistic approaches to therapy. I strive to build meaningful therapeutic relationships grounded in empathy, genuine connection, and attunement to your unique needs.
A Personal Journey of Growth and Discovery
In my own journey, when I was growing up, I often struggled to understand who I was and recognize my own worth. At times, I felt insecure and made choices shaped by what I thought society and my family expected of me. This led me to pursue a career in law, becoming an attorney in 2004, and later spending 11 years in an extreme religious community, molding myself into roles that didn’t truly align with my authentic self.
Seeking clarity and a connection to my true identity, I embarked on a journey of personal exploration—traveling the world in search of meaning, growth, and inner peace, and often taking risks along the way. These experiences, though challenging, taught me invaluable lessons about resilience, self-awareness, and the importance of living authentically.
My life, my pain, and my journey through countless challenges have shaped my belief that no matter where you come from or the obstacles you face, fulfillment is possible for anyone. Through this journey, I discovered my true purpose: supporting others in connecting with their inner strengths, healing from their struggles, and embracing their most authentic selves.
Professional Experience and Approach
I’ve trained extensively at The Maple Counseling Center, Reconnect Trauma Treatment Center, and the Jung Institute of Los Angeles. My approach integrates Psychodynamic theories, Somatic practices, and mindfulness-based tools to foster resilience and well-being.
Additionally, my studies in Zen Buddhism, Vipassana meditation, and Kabbalah have deepened my understanding of the mind-body connection, enriching my ability to help clients uncover their inner resources for healing and growth.
A Compassionate, Grounded Approach
Whether you’re navigating trauma, anxiety, self-doubt, or relational challenges, I’m here to support you. Together, we’ll explore your inner strengths, develop practical tools for resilience, and create a path toward the life you envision.
Choosing the right therapist is an important step in your healing journey. If my approach resonates with you, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
Let’s take this journey together—toward healing, growth, and connection.
What Does It All Mean?
I know terms like Brainspotting, EMDR, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy can sound overwhelming—so let me break it down for you. What does all of this mean in a practical sense for your therapy experience?
First and foremost, therapy is about creating a space where you feel your emotions, experiences, and needs are truly understood. Beyond that, it’s about addressing all parts of who you are—your emotions, your thoughts, and your body. My goal is to help you work on these interconnected layers in a way that feels safe, manageable, and transformative.
Whether we’re exploring patterns from your past, releasing trauma stored in your body, or helping you develop practical tools for daily life, the therapy room is a place where real healing and change can happen.
In my practice I integrate Somatic Psychotherapy, with Jungian and Brainspotting
What is Sensorimotor Psychotherapy?
Have you ever noticed how your body seems to hold onto stress, even when your mind tries to let it go? Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (SP) helps you tune into your body as a guide to healing. This approach blends body awareness, emotions, and thoughts, offering a powerful way to release trauma and rediscover balance.
SP doesn’t just address surface-level issues—it goes deeper, helping you regulate intense emotions, change physical habits tied to trauma, and rewrite limiting beliefs that hold you back. It’s a holistic way to find lasting growth, greater strength, and a sense of calm. Learn more at sensorimotorpsychotherapy.org or watch an introductory video: youtu.be/7cben51_kEg.

What is EMDR?
Have you ever felt stuck in the pain of a past experience, unable to move forward no matter how hard you try? Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful therapy designed to help you process and heal from those difficult memories. By using gentle, guided eye movements, EMDR helps your brain reprocess traumatic experiences, reducing their emotional intensity and freeing you from their grip.
This therapy is especially effective for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, phobias, and other trauma-related challenges. It’s a step-by-step process tailored to help you gain relief, build resilience, and rediscover peace. If you’ve been carrying emotional weight, EMDR offers a path to healing.

What is Jungian Therapy?
Jungian psychotherapy utilizes theories and methods developed by the Swiss psychiatrist, Dr. Carl G. Jung. Jungian psychotherapy investigates the conscious and unconscious psyche in order to help remove or mitigate troubling symptoms or blocks to a healthy and fulfilling life. Jung believed that the origin of most symptoms or blocks lies in the unconscious, therefore, an attempt to access what the “unconscious has to say” through dreams, associations, and fantasies is an important aspect of this kind of psychotherapy. Attention to conscious thoughts and feelings and to the everyday aspects of one’s life are also important areas of focus. Jung did not promote rigid techniques; he believed the process of psychological development to be unique to each individual. Therefore, a Jungian analysis will vary considerably according to the needs of each client.
Jungian psychotherapist examine the personal past. In addition, they look for meaning hidden in current problems as help in finding direction for one’s ongoing life and to connect with the larger meaning of life. Jungian analysts investigate both the personal and the collective unconscious.
Jungian psychotherapist put emphasis on the therapeutic relationship.
Jungian psychotherapist will look to the unconscious (fantasies and dreams) as a guide in the overall process.
Jungian psychotherapist work with archetypal imagery and look to dreams and patterns of one’s life through mythological parallels.
Jungian psychotherapy is viewed as a collaborative process.

What is Brainspotting?
Do you ever feel like words alone aren’t enough to express what you’re going through? Brainspotting (BSP) is a groundbreaking therapy that uses your natural eye movements to unlock and release deeply held trauma.
By focusing on specific eye positions, Brainspotting helps you access the parts of your brain where pain and trauma are stored. This approach isn’t just about healing trauma—it’s about discovering your natural resilience and strength. Brainspotting can help with emotional regulation, chronic pain, dissociation, and so much more.
It’s a unique tool that works with the body’s innate ability to heal itself. Curious? Learn more at brainspotting.com or watch an introductory video: vimeo.com/186019577.
