Dr. Grace Hazeltine

I’m a licensed psychologist in California who practices psychotherapy and psychoanalysis with adults, couples, families, adolescents, and children. I enjoy working with people with diverse identities and concerns in life and value social consciousness in my practice. I think you are most likely to meaningfully learn about my therapeutic style from interactions with me, whether over the phone, by reading my writing, or by having an initial session.

In addition to practicing as a psychologist, I enjoy teaching, supervision and consultation, mentoring dissertation research, and volunteering for non-profit organizations. My volunteer work currently includes serving as the President for Wright Institute Los Angeles’s Alumni Board, where I trained in psychoanalytic psychotherapy and act as a faculty member and clinical supervisor to therapists in training. Previously, I have helped organize the Los Angeles County Psychological Association’s psychotherapist-as-artist virtual gallery, Mirrors of the Mind, and have been a faculty member of a doctoral psychology graduate program.

I have a background in experimental psychology and neuroscience from Grinnell College. Before becoming a psychologist I was a Coro Fellow in Public Affairs and a business management consultant. I am passionate about philosophies of psychoanalysis, science, exploring and protecting the natural world, improvisation, expressive arts, and experiential learning.

Credentials, Training, and Education

Four-year Psychoanalytic Training Program, Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis (in progress, anticipated 2028)

I primarily conducted my clinical training with the following organizations across Los Angeles: Wright Institute Los Angeles, Airport Marina Counseling Service, and the LA LGBT Center. Working with therapists in training is a great way to get high-quality, low-fee therapy. New therapists often make great therapists.
