Therapy in Woodland Hills | Anna Caisin, LMFT

20+ Years Experience Pepperdine University EMDR Certified Narcissistic Abuse Specialist Bilingual: English & Russian LMFT #88486

With over 20 years in mental health, I bring deep experience from nonprofit crisis work, community mental health centers, and 11 years of private practice. I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating life's most difficult moments.

My approach is evidence-based and tailored to you, drawing from CBT, DBT, ACT, EMDR, Solution-Focused, and Narrative Therapy. Together we'll clarify your values and goals, and work toward self-acceptance, emotional balance, and personal growth.

I offer therapy in both English and Russian, with extensive experience in acculturation challenges and immigrant experiences.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured, evidence-based therapy that helps people heal from the symptoms and emotional distress caused by traumatic experiences. Rather than focusing solely on changing thoughts or behaviors, EMDR targets the way traumatic memories are stored in the brain, allowing them to be processed and integrated more fully.

Highly effective for PTSD, trauma, anxiety, phobias, and distressing life events
Uses guided bilateral stimulation (eye movements, tapping) to reprocess stuck memories
Often achieves results more quickly than traditional talk therapy alone
Backed by extensive research and endorsed by the APA and WHO
Available in-person in Woodland Hills or via telehealth throughout California

After years of struggling with anxiety, working with Anna gave me tools I actually use every day. I finally feel like myself again.

— Individual therapy client

Anna helped us rebuild trust and communication when we were ready to give up. Our relationship is stronger than it’s been in years.

— Couples therapy client

I was nervous about starting therapy, but Anna made me feel safe from the very first session. She truly listens without judgment.

— Individual therapy client

My teenager was shutting everyone out. Anna connected with her in a way we couldn’t, and our whole family dynamic has changed.

Questions to ask your insurer:

What percentage is covered for an out-of-network provider?
What is my deductible and has it been met?

Therapy is simply a conversation in a safe, judgment-free space. In our early sessions we'll talk about what's been on your mind, what you'd like to feel differently about, and what goals matter to you. There's no script or pressure — we move at your pace.

That feeling is completely normal — most people feel it. The free 15-minute consultation is low-key: we chat briefly, you ask any questions you have, and there's zero commitment. If it doesn't feel right, that's okay. You can also reach out by email first if calling feels like too much.

You don't need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many people come in feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like something is just "off" — without being able to name it. If you've been thinking about it, that's usually a sign it's worth exploring.

Yes — completely. Everything discussed in sessions is private and protected by law (HIPAA). The only exceptions are narrow legal requirements (such as imminent risk of harm), which I explain clearly at the start of our work together.

The first session is about getting to know each other. We'll review a brief intake form, talk about what brought you in, and start to understand your goals. By the end you'll have a sense of what working together could look like — and I'll answer any questions you have.

The therapeutic relationship matters, and it's okay if it's not the right match. I'd rather you find support that works for you than continue out of obligation. If that happens, I'm happy to provide referrals to other therapists who may be a better fit.

Yes. Telehealth sessions are available to anyone in California via a secure video platform. Many clients appreciate the flexibility — no commute, and you can connect from wherever you're most comfortable.
