Therapy for Dating & Relationships in Los Angeles and throughout California
Virtual therapist helping you navigate dating anxiety, relationship & attachment patterns, past relationships, people-pleasing and modern relationship dynamics in Los Angeles and across California.
Dating and relationships can bring up some of your deepest hopes and also intensify your most profound insecurities.
You find yourself overthinking texts, replaying conversations in your head, or worrying about how you’re coming across. You feel anxious waiting for replies, analyzing tone, or wondering whether you said the wrong thing.
You notice yourself staying in relationships even when something doesn’t feel quite right because leaving feels harder than staying. The idea of starting over, risking rejection, or being alone can feel overwhelming.
At other times the opposite happens; any sign of conflict or uncertainty makes you want to run for the hills before the relationship even has a real chance.
Relationships often bring old emotional patterns to the surface, patterns you don’t always realize you’re carrying.
Navigating these patterns without guidance can feel lonely and confusing. But it doesn’t have to be!

HOW I CAN HELP YOU
My Approach to Therapy for Dating & Relationships
Together, we’ll slow things down and begin to look at the patterns that show up in your dating and relationship life; where they came from, what they’re trying to protect you from, and how they might be keeping you stuck.
Over time, I will help you feel more confident, more secure in yourself, and better able to build relationships that actually feel good.
You deserve relationships where you can feel safe, respected, and fully yourself.
Therapy can help you get there, and I am whole-heartedly committed to helping you through this journey.
ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Justine Gordon - your new relationship and dating therapist in Los Angeles, California!
You might have imagined dating or being in a relationship would feel more natural — something that brings ease, connection and validation. Instead, it can feel confusing, activating, or heavier than expected. The ups and downs of connection, vulnerability, and uncertainty can leave you questioning yourself: Why do I react this way? Why do certain patterns keep showing up? Why do my relationships feel harder than they “should”?
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), and I support individuals in navigating dating, relationships, and attachment patterns. Whether you’re feeling anxious in relationships, pulling away when things get close, or simply trying to understand yourself more deeply in connection with others, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
I truly believe my clients already hold an inner sense of clarity and knowing—it just takes space, support, and time to reconnect with it. I offer a collaborative, judgment-free space where you can slow down, explore your patterns with compassion, and begin to understand the “why” beneath your experiences. Together, we’ll make sense of your thoughts, emotions, and relationship dynamics in a way that brings more clarity and the possibility for more secure, fulfilling connections.
