Therapist – South Bay LA Therapy
South Bay LA Therapy is a private practice based in Torrance, California, operated by Vonique Schmidt, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (#2647). The office is located at 24520 Hawthorne Blvd, Suite 210, Torrance, CA 90505.

The practice concentrates on individual therapy for adults, with stated areas of expertise in trauma, addiction, anger management, and grief. Schmidt holds training in the Trauma Resiliency Model, a body-based approach designed to build resilience by working with the nervous system’s natural capacity for self-regulation, and applies evidence-based approaches to support clients in emotional regulation, behavioral change, and development of healthier coping strategies. The site notes Schmidt brings nearly a decade of clinical experience to the work. The practice specifically addresses the needs of men navigating anger management challenges, addiction, and trauma, though individual therapy services are described generally for adults.
Services listed on the site include individual counseling addressing current problems, emotional well-being, positive thinking, substance abuse counseling, anger management counseling, grief therapy, and trauma counseling. Sessions are available in-person at the Torrance office and via telehealth throughout California. Schmidt also serves as a contracted Group Facilitator with the Lawyers Assistance Program, reflecting experience working with legal professionals in structured group settings. The Hawthorne Boulevard office location in Torrance places the practice within convenient reach of multiple South Bay communities.
