Deepa Karmakar, ACSW
I'm Deepa (she/her/hers).
A psychodynamic Los Angeles based therapist.
Finding solace and stillness in a fast-paced world can be difficult for many of us. Finding time to reflect on where you are in your life and where you want to be can be difficult to find time for. I am here to listen and help you find that intentional space. My areas of practice focus on adolescents and adults experiencing issues related to developmental or attachment trauma, relationships, grief & loss, intimate partner violence and sexuality. I am equipped to help unpack how you experience the weight of social injustice, systemic racism or intergenerational trauma. My practice includes a lens of relational psychotherapy and research-informed interventions for people endorsing depression, anxiety, PTSD, and attachment-related challenges.
​
I have postgraduate training in Brainspotting, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and Safe & Sound Protocol which are designed to help people process stressful life experiences in a different way than just talk therapy. Throughout each session, I incorporate best practices from a number of modalities as a means to support you in maximizing your fullest potential. I am committed to your healing process, whatever that may look like and I believe that stepping into your authenticity will foster sustainable growth.
Guiding You On the Path of Self-Healing
Some problems aren't meant to be solved alone.
By the time most people seek therapy, they've often tried nearly everything to sort things out on their own. I respect the hard work you may have already done & your courage in seeking more support. Some of the topics we can work on together:
-
Depression
-
Anxiety and stress
-
Women's Issues
-
Identity Exploration and self-esteem
-
Non-monogamous relationships, Kink & BDSM
-
Experiences of power and oppression
-
Interpersonal Violence
-
Life transitions
-
​Trauma (i.e intergenerational & childhood trauma)
