Sam Naimi, Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Can you dream of a life no longer affected by your past? One in which you're truly authentic and present? Relational psychoanalysis may be the right fit for you: it's an intensive, collaborative therapy that helps you make sense of your story, shift long-standing unconscious dynamics, and create more space in your psychic world to live fully and freely. If you're looking to do the deep therapeutic work and to invest in lasting change for your health, I welcome you to reach out for a free consultation. Let us help you thrive. Psychoanalysis no longer entails lying on a stuffy old couch; it's a deep, curious exploration of your inner world. We'll talk about anything that comes up: feelings, memories, and even dreams. One of my specialties includes contemporary dream analysis. Together we'll unravel patterns that no longer suit you and expand your relational freedom. I absolutely love what I do. I learn from my patients every single day. I practice in-person in Encino and in Beverly Hills. I also see patients virtually in CA, NJ, and NY.

I have a specialty in contemporary psychoanalytic dream interpretation. I find that when patients bring their dreams into treatment, it radically deepens the therapy and allows us to befriend new parts of patients' inner worlds. I also work frequently with dissociation and clients dealing with concerns along the dissociative spectrum, including dissociative identity disorder.
