You know exactly why you feel the way you do. You’ve read the books, done the reflecting, maybe even explained your own patterns to a friend better than they could explain them to you.
Your body still hasn’t caught up, though.
That’s often where our work begins. Power Therapy takes an integrative, psychodynamic and attachment-based approach, incorporating somatic awareness and practical tools when helpful.
You don’t have to know exactly what you need yet. The consultation is just a low-pressure space to ask questions and see if this feels like the right fit.

Anxiety and relationship struggles usually have a why. Often it’s a pattern you learned early, as a way to stay safe, that’s still running the show years later. Our approach is psychodynamic and attachment-based: we explore where these patterns came from, and we pair that with somatic awareness, so you notice what your nervous system is doing in real time. The goal is not only to understand your patterns intellectually, but to begin experiencing and responding to them differently.
Insight is an important part of the work, but we don’t stop at understanding why a pattern exists. We build enough emotional safety to see where a pattern started, then work with practical, in-session tools so the change actually sticks somewhere besides your head.
for high-achieving adults whose anxiety looks like overthinking, perfectionism, and never fully being able to quiet your mind
understanding how early attachment wounds shape the relationship patterns you keep running into
working through self-doubt and internalized beliefs, whether tied to body image, performance, or general insecurity
support for the identity shifts that come with career changes, breakups, moves, or other major turning points
Rather than asking you to just manage these patterns, we help you explore where they came from. Then we use somatic and practical tools so your nervous system can actually settle, not just your thoughts.
I’m Kaitlyn Power, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (License #116422) with clinical experience in Southern California since 2016. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in psychological research at USC, studying attachment, language, and how couples communicate under stress. That research, and my continued interest in the science of relationships, still shapes how I understand the patterns clients bring into therapy today.
I work with clients who are thoughtful, self-aware, and often exhausted by the gap between understanding their anxiety and actually feeling different. My approach blends psychodynamic and attachment-based therapy with somatic awareness, and we move at a pace that fits you, not a generic timeline.

Before starting therapy, we offer a complimentary 15-minute consultation to talk about what’s bringing you in, answer your questions, and see if it feels like the right fit — no pressure either way.
We’re an out-of-network provider and do not bill insurance directly. We can provide monthly superbills for clients who would like to seek potential reimbursement through their out-of-network benefits.
Yes. Telehealth is available to anyone located in California, alongside in-person sessions in Playa Del Rey.
You don’t have to have this figured out before you reach out. A consultation is just a chance to ask questions and see whether this feels like the right fit. If it isn’t, I’m happy to point you toward other options.
