Depth, with direction

JOSH MIRMELLI, PsyD
Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Beverly Hills, CA

Many of the people I work with have built successful, demanding lives. They’re accustomed to being relied upon, managing complexity, and putting their own needs aside. Often, what has helped them succeed is also what leaves them feeling stuck, disconnected, or unfulfilled.

We begin with what brings you in, but our work goes beyond managing symptoms. I’m interested in understanding the patterns that shape your relationships, the ways you’ve learned to protect yourself, and why certain difficulties persist despite your best efforts to change.

My approach is psychodynamic, direct, and collaborative. I won’t simply listen and agree. I’ll help you recognize what may be difficult to see on your own, challenge patterns that no longer serve you, and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

Is this the right fit?

People often find their way here when they…

Find that success hasn’t resolved what they hoped it would.

Want honest feedback, not just reassurance.

Keep arriving at the same place in life or in relationships.

Are surrounded by people and still feel profoundly lonely.

Have come to define who they are by what they achieve.

Work in entertainment or public life, where being seen is part of the job and being known is rare.

Find that the ways they once avoided discomfort no longer bring relief.

The work

  • Individuals

    A private space to understand your patterns and change what isn’t working.

  • Couples

    For when the same argument keeps returning, and what’s underneath it needs attention.

  • Families

    Helping families understand one another, not just manage one another.

  • Intensives

    Concentrated days of work, for moments that need more than a weekly hour.

The work

I work with individuals who want to understand what keeps repeating, adolescents finding their own footing, couples caught in the same argument, and families learning to understand one another rather than simply manage. When a moment calls for more than a weekly hour, I offer intensives.
