JOSH MIRMELLI, PSY.D.

Welcome to my website! I am a Licensed Psychologist in Los Angeles (PSY 31895), working with individuals, couples, and families who want to break free from patterns that no longer serve them. My specialties include helping people heal from trauma, strengthen relationships, navigate life transitions, and move through anxiety, depression, or self-doubt. Many of my clients look successful on the outside but feel stuck or disconnected on the inside, often after trying other therapies that didn’t go deep enough. My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I create a space that feels safe yet challenging—where you’ll be understood with empathy and also encouraged to grow. This work isn’t just about managing symptoms; it’s about building healthier relationships, reclaiming your voice, and creating lasting change in your life. If you’re ready to do the work, I’m here to help.

THIS IS FOR YOU

You want to strengthen relationships, or heal from disruptive ones

You’re ready to break old patterns, not just talk about them

You’ve tried other therapies that didn’t go deep enough

You’re done performing and want to feel real

You’re ready to face uncomfortable truths

You crave depth, not just coping tools

our feelings are meant to be felt

Feeling your emotions isn’t optional—it’s essential for living authentically. Emotions are data, not distractions. Suppressing them doesn’t protect you; it distances you from truth. You’ll be challenged to face what’s uncomfortable, because that’s where clarity, growth, and real choice begin.
