about our L.A.-based therapy practice
kindman & co.
social justice informed Therapy in highland park, CA
At Kindman & Co., we do therapy a little differently.
Many practices offer a conventional approach where you’re expected to fit into a specific diagnosis or clinical box. We believe the big feelings, challenges, and pain you’re experiencing are often indicators of unsupportive relationships and an oppressive society—rather than something being "wrong" with you.
You are not like anyone else we know, and you won’t be treated like anyone else. We believe in the power of shared humanity and the idea that we don't have to do the hard stuff alone. Our team of affirming, relational therapists in Highland Park is here to help you move out of survival mode and into a more connected, alive version of yourself. We work to help you recognize, accept, and celebrate yourself for exactly who you are.

meet our therapy team
Led by Kaitlin and Paul Kindman, our team of affirming, relational therapists is here to walk with you. We’ve worked to intentionally create a space that feels like a soft place to land: a place where you can sit with your big feelings, lean into your unique way of thinking, and finally feel comfortable in becoming exactly who you are.
We don't just "accept" difference; we celebrate it. Our team is a reflection of the diverse community we serve in Northeast LA, and we are committed to providing care that honors all identities, relationship structures, and backgrounds. We believe that when we show up as our authentic selves, it creates space for you to do the same. We’re looking forward to supporting you.
our approach to connection
We know that therapy can feel vulnerable and raw. It’s a brave thing to show up exactly as you are, and we honor that by showing up as real humans right alongside you.
Rather than sitting back as clinical "experts" or blank slates, our therapists move with transparency and warmth. We believe that healing happens through shared humanity—so we bring our authentic selves into the room—modeling the same honesty and openness we invite from you. Together, we’ll build a relationship rooted in trust: a soft place to land where you can stop performing, start feeling, and finally flourish at your own pace.
tour our highland park office
We know that walking into a new space, especially for therapy, can feel like a lot. Whether you like to plan ahead to ease those first-session nerves or you’re just curious about the neighborhood we love, we want you to feel at ease here before you even arrive.
We’ve put a lot of heart into creating a space that feels like a soft place to land. From our cozy furniture to the grounding atmosphere of our Northeast LA office, we’re really proud of the environment we’ve built for our community. We invite you to take a look around our gallery and get a feel for the space.
the heart of our work: our mission, vision, & values
When you choose to walk through our doors, you’re not just starting therapy, you’re joining a community built on shared humanity. We want you to feel confident in the company you’re supporting.
We don't leave our values at the door. We intentionally weave a social justice and relational lens into everything we do. From the way we sit with you in session to the way we show up for one another as a team. For us, running a practice with integrity means prioritizing liberation, equity, and sustainable care for everyone involved.
