Mental Health Practice – Educational Therapy & Psychotherapy Los Angeles
Raffi Bandarian, LMFT, E/T, P, operates Educational Therapy & Psychotherapy Los Angeles, a private practice in Los Angeles, California, offering a combined model of educational therapy, individual psychotherapy, and executive functioning coaching. The practice serves adults, teens, and children, working across developmental stages to address challenges at the intersection of mental health and learning.
A central focus of the practice is helping clients learn to regulate emotions and increase goal-directed behavior. This framing reflects a clinical orientation that integrates emotional and cognitive supports, serving clients who may experience difficulties with self-regulation, attention, and purposeful functioning in daily life contexts. Educational therapy as a discipline addresses learning-related dimensions of such challenges, while the psychotherapy component provides broader individual mental health support tailored to each client’s needs and circumstances.
Executive functioning coaching is offered as a third strand of the practice, directed at developing the planning, organizational, and self-management skills that underlie academic performance, workplace effectiveness, and personal functioning across the lifespan. For children and teens, these services may be particularly relevant in academic settings, during developmental transitions, and when navigating the demands of school and home environments simultaneously.
Bandarian’s credentials are listed on the practice website as LMFT, E/T, and P. The practice website is also accessible through the former address developingkidsminds.com, which redirects to the current site. Services span three interconnected disciplines, with the practice drawing on each to address the full range of emotional, cognitive, and behavioral concerns that clients may bring at different stages of life.
The practice’s three-part service structure positions it as a resource for clients whose needs span both clinical mental health and educational or functional performance domains, with adults, teens, and children each accommodated within the practice’s scope.
