Dr Beth Siegel

Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist

“I am now offering in-person and Telehealth appointments. Let's work together to find solutions, explore feelings and change patterns that may be unhealthy.”

About Me

Feeling stuck in familiar, unhelpful patterns can be frustrating. I offer a collaborative space to explore your feelings and the experiences shaping your present. Together, we will gently uncover the roots of these patterns. This deep work helps you gain insight. You can then find new solutions and move towards lasting, healthier change. If you are ready to truly understand yourself, this approach can guide your way forward.

Approach

Sessions balance steady curiosity with practical steps to shift long-standing patterns: we notice moments that feel stuck, name what’s happening in the room, and try small experiments to test new ways of being. In Long Beach or over secure telehealth, I keep a calm, paced rhythm—some weeks we reflect deeply, others we focus on skill-building or attending to the body’s responses between meetings. For trauma, loss, anxiety, or relationship strain, the work connects past experience to present reactions and builds clearer choices. People ready for thoughtful, steady change tend to find this helpful.
