About

A warm, non-judgmental partnership for healing

Grief specialist, Certified Thanatologist, and licensed Marriage & Family Therapist serving Los Angeles and all of California online.

Dolly B. Phillips

Marriage & Family Therapist · LMFT, CT

I am a grief specialist who offers a warm, non-judgmental partnership with clients who may be living with a chronic or life-threatening illness, or who are grievers or caregivers. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, strength-based and tailored to meet your needs.

I have over 16 years of experience working exclusively with adults (18+) — as individuals, families and support groups. Alongside grief, I work with depression, anxiety, CPTSD and other life challenges and stressors.

I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, a Grief Specialist, and a Certified Thanatologist — a specialist in death and dying. I know that taking that first step can be a big one. I'm here to help.
