About

Hi there!   

My name is Ossi Pace and I’m a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. I’m also a Certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist based out of Los Angeles. 

I believe our family of origin, our attachments, our coping strategies, our core beliefs, our traumas, and the meaning we attach to ourselves, others and particular life events form who we are and what we do.   My goal is to bring understanding, compassion, and awareness to our sessions.  

In therapy we will bring light to our shame, link our behaviors to our emotions, decriminalize our action tendencies, make the implicit explicit, and break down unhealthy patterns, plus so much more.   

Therapy is an invaluable place where change can and does happen.  The formula for change is honesty, willingness, and action. I feel immensely privileged to be a part of your journey and I look forward to hearing and meeting all of you.   

Here are some fun facts about me: 1. I speak fluent Hebrew. 2. I was MVP in volleyball my sophomore year of high school. 3. I have 3 children (17,15,11). 4. I had a small part in the pilot episode of The West Wing. 4. My favorite movie is About Time.
