Dr. Margy Sperry
Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis
Welcome! I’m glad you found your way here.
Therapy for Individuals, Couples, & Adolescents in West Los Angeles
A safe and supportive environment to explore your challenges and discover new possibilities.
Hi, I'm Margy
For more than 30 years, I’ve worked with individuals, adolescents, and couples to transform fear, despair, and frustration into opportunities for personal growth. I help people learn more about themselves and their relationships – what makes them tick, what they need to feel more fulfilled, and what keeps them stuck in emotionally painful ways. Whether you want to learn more about how psychotherapy works, are looking for information on a particular topic, or are searching for an experienced therapist in the Los Angeles area, I hope what you find here will be helpful.
We All Need a Little Help Sometimes
Life doesn’t always go exactly as we hope and plan. Sometimes, the rug is pulled out from underneath our feet, forcing us to reexamine who we are and where we’re going. And sometimes, we feel like we’re not living up to our fullest potential. Whether you’re facing a painful loss or feeling stuck and frustrated, it helps to have an experienced professional to navigate the tough times with you. We’ll work together to identify the patterns that weigh you down, face your fears, and build a healthier relationship with yourself and others. Effective psychotherapy will help you to understand yourself better, but even more importantly, it will help you to feel more alive and connected to the world around you. You don’t need to face the journey alone.
“There are no words to express the abyss between isolation and having one ally. It may be conceded to the mathematician that four is twice two. But two is not twice one; two is two thousand times one.”.
– James Thurber
How Do I Get Started?
Your journey begins as soon as you’re ready. We’ll start by spending a few minutes on the phone so you can tell me about yourself and ask me anything on your mind. After that, if you wish to proceed, we’ll schedule a face-to-face appointment to understand better how we might work together.
