About Zan Robertson, LMFT
I earned my M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University and am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (#148805).
I’m currently a psychoanalyst in training at Los Angeles Institute & Society for Psychoanalytic Studies, a 4-year intensive program that certifies me to practice psychoanalysis. Unlike psychotherapy, psychoanalysis involves multiple weekly sessions for an extended period, providing more support and containment for exploring feelings and experiential work.
Prior to private practice, I worked in community mental health at Valley Community Counseling Clinic, receiving training in object relations theory and contemporary psychoanalytic and psychodynamic psychotherapy. I also trained at the Family Service Agency of Burbank, providing therapy to teens.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Fine Art from California Institute of the Arts (Cal Arts), where I studied studio art and critical studies. My artistic background and critical thinking inform my therapeutic work.
