Meredith C. Murphy, Ph.D.
Play Therapy & Psychotherapy for Kids, Teens, & Young Adults
Silver Lake Area of Los Angeles, CA 90039
I specialize in psychotherapy for children, adolescents, and young adults undergoing a wide range of emotional, behavioral, academic, and relational difficulties. For younger children, I use play therapy, as play is the language that children use to express themselves. I approach therapy with the understanding that each individual and family is unique; therefore, I tailor my approach to best meet each client’s needs and challenges.
I know it may be difficult to find a therapist you can trust, which is why I provide a warm, empathic, non-judgmental, supportive environment in which my clients feel safe to explore, and work through, their difficulties. If you would like to see your child reach his or her full potential and lead a richer, more satisfying life, contact me to see if I am the right fit for your family.

In this capacity, I supervise and oversee the training of interns at TMCC, which is a community mental health center that offers low fee mental health services to individuals, couples, and families.
Furthermore, I am currently teaching two doctoral-level courses at the California School of Professional Psychology, where I earned my PhD.
