Support For Individuals, Couples, & Families

Stefanie Funke, LMFT in West Los Angeles

Individual

Feeling sad, stressed, confused, generally unhappy with life? I work with teens and adults to address problematic feelings, with the idea of helping people gain the life they want.

Couples

Communication problems are a common complaint with couples. I help couples learn to communicate with each other more effectively, leading to more satisfying relationships.

Families

Family dynamics can be complex and confusing. I work with families to help improve communication and strengthen connections.

Consultation

I provide gestalt-therapy-based supervision and consultation to pre-licensed and licensed therapists.

Welcome, I am Stefanie Funke

Licensed marriage and family therapist

I have a private practice in West Los Angeles, where I see individuals (adults and adolescents), couples, and families; I also do consultation and supervision. If you are struggling in life, please contact me. I understand that beginning therapy can be a difficult decision. I work to provide a safe, comfortable space in which to explore your life, look at what is keeping you from your preferred life, and consider possibilities for changing your life. Thank you for checking out my website.

“The path to our destination is not always a straight one. We go down the wrong road, we get lost, we turn back. Maybe it doesn’t matter which road we embark on. Maybe what matters is that we embark.”

Barbara Hall, 2000

“All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware.”
