About Cyla Fisk

Hi! I’m Cyla (She/Her). I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and owner of Her Space Therapy Los Angeles. I’m also a mom to a darling girl and a fur baby. I enjoy movement, reading, connecting with people, being in nature, and traveling to foreign places.

After receiving my MA in Clinical Psychology I dedicated a lot of time toward becoming an expert in trauma treatment. After having my daughter and experiencing postpartum depression, I decided to also pursue an expertise in Perinatal Mental Health. As someone who is neurodivergent, I deeply understand how our unique brains shape our experiences, and I bring that understanding into my work. I hope that I can use my expertise and the wisdom I gain from each of my clients to help you in this next phase of your life.

Here is some more about me and my story featured in Voyage LA Magazine, Canvas Rebel, and Bold Journey.

Clinical Focus

I provide holistic therapy to women and parents to help them thrive in their everyday lives. Many of my clients identify as moms, professionals, and creative entrepreneurs; though I work with all walks of life. My specialties include, but are not limited to, perinatal mental health, complex trauma, life transitions, depression and anxiety. We will listen collaboratively to your story, explore the different parts of who you are and what has shaped you, and invite practices to strengthen your capacities, foster new insights, ease painful symptoms, and integrate past experiences.

What People Are Saying

“Cyla is a deep-thinking, deep-feeling guide for sensitive and empathic women going through difficult transitions in life. She's highly attuned and aware of people around her, and able to hold remarkable space for whatever someone is feeling. You will never feel rushed or judged by her. I highly recommend her!”

— Laurel Roberts-Meese, LMFT

“Before we met I had been looking for someone like Cyla for a long time. She has put herself through extensive training and education to work with trauma. I would describe her as compassionate, creative, kind, and empowered. Someone who knows how to use her experiences in life to help others who are struggling. I'm glad she took the time to build trust with me. I always felt safe around her. She made an incredible difference in my life and I'm more in touch with the person I am and want to be going forward. I've made a lot of tangible changes inside and out as a result of that. I'm extremely proud of the work we did together during sessions. The feeling that comes to mind when I think of our time together is that of gratefulness for working with someone as talented as her.”

“Cyla is a warm and compassionate therapist whom I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know over the past couple of years. Her experience and skill set working with women is excellent and I have complete confidence that clients I’ve referred to her are in the best hands. I highly recommend her practice for women to get the support they need!”
