About Stephanie Holz, LMFT | Therapy in Los Angeles

Stephanie Holz is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist (EFT) working with couples, families and individuals. Her certification reflects extensive post-graduate training and ongoing supervision.

Why EFT?

Stephanie chose to specialize in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) after seeing how people who deeply love one another can become trapped in painful cycles of conflict. EFT helps uncover the attachment needs and emotional patterns that drive these cycles, creating opportunities for deeper connection and lasting change.

Stephanie has advanced training in Internal Family Systems (IFS & IFIO), including level-2 training, and is working towards certification. She is also currently training in EMDR.

In addition to private practice, she has completed extensive training in community mental health at Women’s Clinic Counseling Center and the Santa Monica-Malibu school district. She holds a master’s degree in both Art and Clinical Psychology.

Stephanie works integratively, tailoring therapy to the needs of each client. Her approach draws from the fields of Internal Family Systems (IFS & IFIO), relational and depth psychology, narrative therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, CBT, DBT, EFT, and feminist therapy. Her work is both LGBTQI affirmative and trauma-informed.

She sees clients in-person in Brentwood, Los Angeles or via telehealth in California.
