LMFT Ilona Varo Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Inc.
Specialties: Anxiety, Depression, Eating Disorders, Adjustment Disorder

Introduction

Ilona Varo is a Hungarian born psychotherapist practicing in Los Angeles. Her background in the beauty/entertainment industry as well the healing arts informs her unique, mindful and client-centered approach. Ilona's practice focuses on women's issues from adolescence through adulthood. She focuses on issues involving body image, disordered eating, self-hatred/sabotaging behaviors, anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders and trauma. Ilona is trained in EMDR and works with somatic modalities to help clients create safety in and connection to their body. Safety includes healthy self-regulation, appropriate coping skills, joyful relationships and bringing awareness to the somatic experiences of mental health issues. A lot of mental health behaviors are a result of individuals being detached from their bodies, at war within themselves, and the struggle to rationalize a biological response. "It's not always logical, it's sometimes biological.” Ilona helps provide clients with practical tools so that they can improve their awareness of behaviors/thoughts/reactions which bring them distress. Practical tools and collaborative practices ensure that clients can learn to cope in healthier and more effective ways. Ilona is very passionate about women's health, resiliency, and teaching effective/practical coping skills so that individuals can find peace in their mind/body experiences.
