Harout "Harry" Ohannessian, LMFT

Harout "Harry" Ohannessian is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 11 years of clinical experience and a practice that began in 2014. As an LMFT he is trained to work with individuals, couples, and families, helping people navigate difficult emotions and relational challenges.

He focuses much of his work on helping people recover from trauma and manage severe life stressors. He works with young adults, couples, and families to build healthier self-perceptions and stronger connections, with the aim of helping clients arrive at a greater sense of peace, wholeness, and safety. Areas of clinical focus include stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating and anger concerns, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue, with additional attention to paranoia, personality disorders, and sexual assault and abuse.

Ohannessian’s therapeutic stance emphasizes empathy and careful exploration. He primarily employs psychodynamic approaches to help clients understand and process the experiences that contribute to ongoing pain and distress. He also integrates a range of other evidence-based methods to meet each person’s needs, including Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy.

He holds a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University, Los Angeles, and a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from California State University, Los Angeles. Harout "Harry" Ohannessian provides services in English, Arabic, and Armenian and is currently accepting clients in California.
