Find Your Voice: Therapeutic Support for Singers and Public Speakers in Los Angeles

 Your voice is one of the most powerful ways you share yourself with the world. From the first sounds you made as a baby to the words, songs, and speeches you create today, your voice expresses not only your thoughts but also your identity. For singers, actors, and public speakers, the voice becomes both a professional tool and a deeply personal form of expression. Yet fear, anxiety, or self-doubt can make it difficult to share that voice freely.


Why Voice Work Matters

Finding your voice isn’t just about volume or technique—it’s about confidence, self-expression, and authenticity. Many performers and speakers struggle with:

  • Performance anxiety or stage fright

  • Fear of judgment or criticism

  • Loss of confidence after a setback or mistake

  • Self-sabotaging thoughts such as perfectionism or harsh self-criticism

  • Emotional blocks that make it hard to speak or sing freely

These challenges don’t mean a lack of talent or ability—they’re often rooted in fear or old patterns that can be worked through with the right support.

Therapeutic Support for Performers

Unlike traditional voice coaching that focuses only on technique, my approach blends vocal work with therapeutic insight. As a licensed therapist (LMFT, LPCC) with a background in vocal coaching, I help performers and speakers explore both the emotional and practical sides of voice work.

This process may include:

  • Visualization tools to calm nerves before a performance or presentation

  • Practical support, including accompanying clients to recording sessions or rehearsals when needed

  • Therapeutic strategies to address underlying fears and self-doubt

  • Humor and playfulness to reduce pressure and bring joy back into performance

  • Confidence-building exercises to strengthen presence on stage or in front of an audience

The goal is not only to sound stronger but to feel more connected to your authentic self while performing.

Benefits of Therapeutic Voice Coaching

When performers and speakers combine voice work with therapeutic support, the benefits extend far beyond the stage. Clients often experience:

  • A stronger, more confident voice in both personal and professional settings

  • Reduced anxiety during auditions, speeches, or live performances

  • Freedom from self-criticism and perfectionism

  • A renewed sense of joy and creativity

  • Greater emotional connection to their work and audience

These skills last well beyond one performance—they create resilience and confidence that serve you in all areas of life.

Why Los Angeles Performers Seek Voice Support

In Los Angeles, the pressure to perform—whether on stage, in the recording studio, or in front of a camera—can feel overwhelming. Singers, actors, and public speakers often face high expectations and constant evaluation. Having a safe, supportive space to work through fears and reconnect with your voice can make all the difference.

Therapeutic voice support provides a way to build confidence, improve performance, and reclaim your voice as a true expression of who you are.

Taking the First Step

If you are a singer, actor, or public speaker struggling with nerves, anxiety, or self-doubt, you don’t have to go through it alone. With therapeutic support, you can find your voice again—clear, confident, and authentic.

Together, we can work on building the tools you need to share your voice with freedom and strength, both on stage and in everyday life.

Your voice is your story—let’s make sure it’s heard.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Techniques: Unlocking the Power of Positive Change | Deborah Weisberg

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely recognized and highly effective therapeutic approach for treating various mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, and stress-related disorders. CBT focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. In this article, we will explore some key CBT techniques that can help individuals improve their mental well-being and achieve lasting positive change. Cognitive Restructuring: One of the core techniques of CBT is cognitive restructuring. It involves identifying and challenging negative or irrational thoughts that contribute to anxiety or depression. By questioning the accuracy and validity of these thoughts, individuals can replace them with more realistic and positive alternatives. For example, if someone has the thought, "I always mess up everything," they can reframe it as, "I have had successes in the past, and this is just one setback." B...
