Meet Carla Korn, LMFT

You may look like you’re doing fine — capable, responsible, productive. But inside, you might feel anxious, exhausted, overwhelmed, or stretched too thin.

I help women and mothers step out of survival mode and into a steadier, calmer way of living — with support that’s grounded, thoughtful, and practical.

I’ll respond within 24 hours to coordinate a time.

In-person in Westlake Village, CA. Telehealth available throughout California and New York.

The women I work with are often the ones holding everything together.

They may be navigating:

  • high-functioning anxiety and constant overthinking
  • resentment from carrying the mental load
  • feeling disconnected from themselves
  • burnout, irritability, and emotional exhaustion
  • friendship stress or relationship strain
  • perfectionism and the pressure to get everything “right”

Therapy becomes a place where you can slow down, be honest, and finally have support that feels steady and real.

My Background


For more than a decade, I specialized in eating disorders and body image — helping women untangle one of the most complex mind-body struggles there is.

That work shaped the way I practice today. It taught me that emotional health is not separate from the body — and that many struggles we label as “anxiety” or “self-control” are often rooted in pressure, coping patterns, and long-standing ways of carrying stress.

Today, I bring that depth of experience into my work with women and mothers who are ready for more balance, clarity, and freedom.

My approach is:


Grounded and practical

We stay focused on what matters and what actually helps in day-to-day life.

Integrative

We look at the whole picture — emotions, relationships, coping patterns, and the mental load you carry.

Warm, direct, and thoughtful

This is supportive work, but not surface-level work. You don’t have to perform here — and you don’t have to do it alone.

Personalized and high-touch

I keep my work focused so clients receive consistent attention, support, and care.

Why I Do This Work


Early in my career, I focused on eating disorders and body image because I wanted to help women find freedom from the constant battle with food, self-worth, and control. Over time, I saw how similar patterns showed up in many other areas of life — anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, and the sense of never being able to fully exhale.

As a mother myself, I understand what it’s like to juggle expectations, take care of everyone else – and wonder where you went in the process.

That’s why I built this practice — to create a calm, confidential space where you can finally set it down, sort it out, and come back to yourself.

Thoughtful care often involves the right support team.

When helpful, I maintain relationships with trusted providers and can support clients with referrals and coordination of care, such as:

  • dietitians
  • women’s health providers
  • physicians / functional medicine providers
  • psychiatrists (when needed)

My goal is to offer therapy that’s not isolated — but connected to the real-life support you may need.
