About Emily Ma, LCSW

I am a licensed psychotherapist based in Los Angeles providing psychodynamic and emotionally focused couples therapy. I work with adults and provide support for grief and loss, navigating challenges concerning cultural/ethnic identity, intergenerational/family of origin dynamics, and relationships.

Emotionally Focused Therapy

Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) is a type of couples therapy that is used to improve attachment and bonding in adult relationships. Developed by doctors Sue Johnson and Les Greenberg in the 1980s and is rooted in research on love as an attachment bond.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Psychodynamic therapy focuses on the collaborative relationship between therapist and client and aims to explore how the unconscious mind and historical experiences may be contributing to the present moment.
