Specialties
I am a Life Coach and I work with adults and adolescents who feel stuck. Many of my clients have a repetitive mantra that swirls through their experiences and manifests in anxiety, depression, emotional paralysis, or uncertainty. My Gestalt Coaching style is unique; I have many years of training and personal experience and can help you overcome the blocks that impede your growth. Using a project-based approach, I am here to help you get unstuck and change the patterns that no longer work.
I work with adolescents and adults, people who experience a Quarter-Life Crisis, and many of my clients are transgendered, gay, lesbian, or questioning, or feel alone or unheard.
If you are looking for some relief in your daily life, and are seeing the big picture, you've come to the right place. Maybe you feel stressed about work, overwhelmed about a relationship, or generally stuck. I look forward to meeting you.
History
Established in 2008.
I began my career as a Marriage and Family Therapy Intern and worked in various community mental health agencies and schools. In 2014, I converted my practice to a Coaching practice after realizing that I could be of service to my clients in that capacity better than working as a Therapist.

NINA RUBIN, MA, Gestalt Life Coach
Nina works as a Gestalt Life Coach in private practice in West Los Angeles.
As a Coach, I weave a vast array of experience with Gestalt Therapy, concentrating on the here and now. I work collaboratively with my clients to heighten awareness of feelings, sensations, breathing, non-verbal and habitual patterns to help you learn more about yourself, including the areas where you thrive and struggle.
I received my Masters Degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles and my Bachelor's Degree from the University of Pennsylvania. I practiced Psychotherapy for seven years.
I am trained in Gestalt therapy, TF-CBT (Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), PPP (Positive Parenting Program), and other post-modern modalities. I have six years of training with the Pacific Gestalt Institute in Los Angeles and two years of training with Dr. Ruella Frank in Developmental Somatic Psychotherapy in New York.
