Hello, I’m Makando Mutanda, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Los Angeles and the founder of Sela, an integrative therapy practice. I created Sela as a space for individuals and couples seeking care that attends to the mind, body, emotions, relationships, and lived experience. As a first-generation immigrant born in Kitwe, Zambia, I bring a personal understanding of how culture, identity, and belonging shape the way people move through the world. These experiences influence how I listen and how I approach therapy, with attention to context, nuance, and the many layers that inform a person’s internal process. I often work with people who feel emotionally overwhelmed or weighed down by ongoing responsibilities, relational dynamics, professional demands, or long-standing patterns that no longer feel supportive. I also support couples seeking to better understand one another, strengthen communication, and move through periods of change together.I have over six years of clinical experience and received my graduate training in Social Work and Public Health at the University of Southern California. My work has included community mental health settings, university counseling centers and PhD training programs. I support individuals and couples navigating relationships, identity exploration, life transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and intimacy concerns.My approach integrates evidence-based therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychodynamic therapy, attachment-based work, and somatic practices. I work collaboratively with clients and believe that people carry insight and wisdom shaped through experience. My role is to walk alongside clients as they develop understanding, cultivate inner resources, and tend to their healing in ways that can continue beyond therapy and be integrated into daily life. Thank you for taking the time to explore how therapy at Sela might support you.

I'm a dedicated therapist who strives to offer clients quality care that’s centered around my professional competence, firm adherence to legal and ethical standards, and continual expansion in my knowledge of the practice. My passion for learning about the human psyche and behavior is a large part of why I chose to work in this profession.

I earned my master’s degree in social work from California State University of Long Beach. I’ve received training and supervision in therapeutic interventions including cognitive behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic and dialectical behavior therapy techniques. I have experience in multiple settings including partial hospitalization programs, intensive outpatient programs, and non-profit organizations. I’ve worked with a range of populations including unhoused individuals, adults struggling with substance abuse, and clients with a range of mental health related issues such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed or stuck in the same relationship patterns? Life can bring emotional and mental challenges that leave us feeling lost, disconnected, or unsure of what to do next. My goal is to help you make sense of what’s happening, deepen your understanding of yourself, and find healthier ways to move through difficult moments.

What started as an interest in human behavior and Psychology, blossomed into empathy for the human experience and learning what an incredible privilege it is to hear and witness the vulnerability of others. While obtaining my MA in Marital and Family Therapy, I worked in Community Mental Health, primarily serving low-income families. I have gained a wide range of experiences with many diverse populations. Maintaining cultural competence, and open-mindedness to all is crucial to my identity as a therapist. A safe and supportive environment is the foundation of the therapeutic relationship.

Feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? You're not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it on your own.

I offer a compassionate, steady space where real healing can begin. Using a blend of Eye Movement, Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and Relational Life Therapy (RLT), we’ll uncover and gently process the life experiences and patterns that may be holding you back—so you can reconnect with your inner strength, clarity, and sense of self.

You deserve to feel supported, understood, and empowered in your healing. I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

Appointments are available on Telehealth. On occasions Monday may be available in the Hermosa Beach office. For scheduling inquiries please text me directly at 310-746-7223.
