Meet Dr. Amanda
Amanda Lomanov, Psy.D.
Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Over the past 14 years, I’ve worked with hundreds of individuals, couples, and groups across hospitals, clinics, schools, residential treatment centers, and private practice. I founded Inner Guide Therapy Los Angeles in 2021 and, in 2026, created Fragmented: A Workbook for Piecing Together the Self You Left Behind to bring more of the structure and depth of psychological work beyond the therapy hour. My work combines practical tools with deeper psychological exploration, grounded in the belief that lasting change comes not just from knowing what to do differently, but from understanding yourself more fully and learning how to put that understanding into practice.
Philosophy
Decipher your unconscious. Break patterns. Develop emotional literacy. Have more satisfying relationships. Accept without judgment. Grieve and let go of what you have outgrown.
Like a prism refracting light, therapy opens a portal to the pieces of yourself that you may not have known were there.
Our treatment team knows that the relationships they form with you are unique, bidirectional, and transformative. We understand that in order to approach yourself with curiosity rather than judgment, we need to create a safe container where you can let go of toxic shame and self-attack and embrace all parts of you, even the ones that you don't like. Relational therapy is the theoretical framework that we use to make sense of the unconscious patterns we will replicate and explore together.
If you are ready to deepen your connection with yourself, recontextualize your history, and find compassion for all of your parts, book your free introductory consultation with us now.
How Therapy Can Help
We all make choices every day that bring us closer to joy or pain. We are often unaware of all the forces at play in our decision-making (e.g., instinct, emotion, logic, attachment style, unhealed wounds, etc.). Without help, we can feel alone in figuring out major life choices and we may act from a place of fear rather than a place of strength and courage.
Therapy is a space to get to know all parts of ourselves, including those veiled by the unconscious, with the guidance of a trained professional.
Your relationship with your therapist can also be a model for your relationships outside of therapy. Together we can explore how to manage conflict effectively, set healthy boundaries, and talk about things that make us uncomfortable. It’s our goal to help you understand what feels good to you in relationships and what doesn’t.
Give us a call today to see how we can help you meet your therapy goals.
