Staff Therapist
Emily La Mear is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who provides compassionate, evidence-based care to individuals and families navigating emotional and behavioral challenges. Her clinical work is rooted in creating a safe, collaborative space where clients feel supported in building insight, developing effective coping skills, and fostering deeper connections in their lives. Emily is primarily based in our Calabasas office, with additional presence in Beverly Hills, and is available for virtual clients.
Emily supports clients in DBT ages 12 through the lifespan, specializing in emotional dysregulation, self-harm, suicidality, trauma, and relationship issues. She is foundationally trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) through Marsha Linehan’s Behavioral Tech, the gold standard of training for a DBT therapist. She draws from additional modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed care. Her integrative approach allows her to tailor treatment to the unique needs, values, and goals of each client. In Dr. Wallach’s comprehensive program, Emily sees adolescents, adults, parents, families, and is also a skills group leader.
In her private practice, Emily’s therapeutic style is warm, nonjudgmental, and strength-based. She sees clients as young as six through the lifespan, and she believes that meaningful change occurs when clients feel seen, understood, and empowered in the therapeutic process. In her work with individuals and families, she brings a thoughtful balance of structure and flexibility, helping clients not only stabilize but grow toward lasting wellness.
In addition to providing individual therapy, Emily has extensive experience with family systems work, psychoeducation, and skills-based group facilitation. She values working closely with clients’ support systems and collaborating with multidisciplinary care teams when appropriate to ensure continuity of care.
Whether you’re seeking support through a period of crisis or hoping to build a stronger foundation for emotional resilience, Emily brings clinical expertise and genuine care to help you move forward.
