Therapy for Connection, Healing, and Growth — Serving Individuals and Couples Across California
My Approach
Therapy isn’t about fixing what’s broken. It’s about reclaiming the parts of you that have longed to be seen, known, and supported.
My work is grounded in attachment-based and relational therapy, and I often integrate other modalities such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused approaches.
For couples, I also draw on the Gottman Method, a research-based framework that helps partners strengthen trust, improve communication, and rebuild emotional connection.
Together, we’ll explore how early experiences and relational patterns shape how you show up today — helping you move from disconnection and self-doubt toward understanding, confidence, and deeper connection while also discussing tools you can start implementing right away to help you cope with your anxiety, depression and trauma.
For Individuals
You don’t have to keep striving to be “enough.”
Individual therapy is a space to understand the “why” behind your anxiety, perfectionism, or people-pleasing. We’ll work together to help you build self-trust, set boundaries, and create more emotional safety — within yourself and your relationships.

For Couples
Couples therapy is a space to understand each other — not just react.
Using a blend of attachment-based work and the Gottman Method, I help couples identify the negative cycles that keep them stuck, learn new ways to communicate, and strengthen their emotional bond.
You’ll learn practical tools for managing conflict, rebuilding trust, and deepening intimacy — while also exploring the underlying emotional needs and attachment patterns that drive your interactions.
My goal is to help you both feel safe enough to be honest, curious, and connected again.

Hi, I’m Zoe Spears, LMFT
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Los Angeles, offering virtual therapy across California. I work with teens (16+), college-aged students, adults, and couples navigating relationship struggles, perfectionism, anxiety, and the lingering effects of complex childhood trauma.
If you’re reading this, you are probably someone who pushes yourself hard to do everything right — to perform, achieve, or hold things together for everyone else. On the surface it looks like you have everything together by on the inside you feel trapped and overwhelmed.
You also may struggle with your relationships and notice that no matter how hard you try, they feel confusing and anxiety provoking — like you’re always too much or not quite enough. Maybe you long for closeness but pull back when someone gets too near. Or you find yourself over-giving, trying to keep others happy while quietly wondering if your needs matter too.
These patterns don’t define you. They’re the echoes of early experiences — of learning how to protect your heart in a world that didn’t always feel safe and needing to show up perfectly to be seen and accepted.
Attachment-based therapy offers a space to understand those echoes with care, so you can begin to show up as your authentic self and build relationships rooted in trust rather than fear.
Therapy offers a space to slow down and understand what’s happening beneath the surface — so you can begin to heal what’s been driving your pain. Healing starts when connection feels safe enough to stay.
