The Flow Story
Flow House has been providing somatic and holistic psychotherapy in Los Angeles since 2018. We're a small, fully licensed team. Carefully selected. Deeply committed to the quality of the work. Here's the story of how we got here.
-
A life that looked successful from the outside
Before becoming a therapist, Jori worked on-set as a television producer. From the outside it looked like success: creative, visible, high-profile. Internally, something felt hollow. There was a gap between how her life appeared and how it actually felt. And a quiet, persistent sense that something was missing.
-
The shift into therapy
That search eventually led Jori back to school to become a therapist. Her early work was shaped by a belief that therapy needed to move beyond analysis alone. She was interested in the body, in spirituality, and the deeper patterns beneath behavior and relationship. This became the beginning of a more integrated approach, one that honored both the mind and the body as essential parts of meaningful change.
-
The first Flow House
In 2018, Flow House began when Jori had the opportunity to take over a small house in Mar Vista. She wanted therapy to feel different from a traditional clinical setting. Not sterile. Not formal. The original Flow House brought together design, light, art, music, a garden and a sense of community among therapists working alongside one another. A healing environment isn't superficial. It's part of the work.
-
A fully licensed team
Every therapist at Flow is fully licensed, which matters more than it might sound. These aren't students accumulating hours. They're experienced clinicians who have seen a lot, done their own work, and keep learning. What they share is an orientation: somatic, spiritually open, creative. What differs is everything else. Some are direct and catalytic. Some are patient and slow. The range is intentional, because no single therapist is right for everyone.
-
Small by design
Over time, Flow House has grown primarily through word of mouth, serving more than 1,000 clients while maintaining a highly personal standard of care.
In a therapy landscape increasingly shaped by apps, tech platforms, and quick-access models, Flow House continues to offer something more considered: thoughtful matching, experienced therapists, somatic depth, and relational expertise. In a beautiful room.
We stay small on purpose. We hold our quality precisely because we never tried to scale beyond what one person can hold with integrity.

Rooted in Los Angeles
We love LA - a city with a long history of asking bigger questions. Of being at the forefront of human potential, personal expansion, and the belief that it's never a waste to invest in yourself. Here, taking care of yourself isn't something you have to justify. Whatever you're carrying, however long you've been carrying it, you're going to be okay. That's what we're here to help you find.
Testimonials
Meet the founder, Jori
My career in TV gave me instincts I still carry: an aesthetic eye, a hunger to understand what's really going on beneath the surface, and a desire to see the story behind the story.
From day one as a therapist, though, I felt more confident and more myself in that room than I ever did on set.
Clients will never understand how much we therapists learn from you. Through years of work with clients, and my own ongoing exploration, a belief system began to form.
What I was discovering then is still what I believe now.
The foundations haven't changed.
Flow started in a house. My house. The name carries that intention. A house is not a clinic, not a classroom. Just two humans in a room, figuring it out.
I keep it small and personal because this is still my baby. I do every intake call. I make every match. Not because it's efficient. It isn't.
But because by talking to every person, I stay invested. I stay connected. I care about what happens to them. The closer we stay to the people, the better the care.
Our Values
-
Whole-Person Care
We look at the emotional, relational, physical, and developmental layers of your life - the full story - so your healing isn’t limited to managing symptoms, but rebuilding your foundation.
-
Brain Plasticity
The brain can change at any age. With new experiences and intentional practice, long-held patterns of feeling, thinking, and reacting can soften - creating more ease, choice, and connection in daily life.
-
Somatic Awareness
Developing awareness of sensation in our body allows us to tap into the body's power and recognize it as our greatest resource. No longer alienated from our body, we now feel deeply safe and connected within it. Difficult emotions, like fear and pain, can flow through us and strengthen us - rather than paralyze us.
-
Eastern Philosophy
We honor principles of presence, impermanence, and non-attachment. When we stop gripping outcome, we create space for clarity, calm, and transformation to unfold naturally.
-
Positive Psychology
Healing isn’t only about what’s wrong; it’s also about what’s possible. We help you reconnect to vitality - curiosity, meaning, and the parts of life that make you feel awakened and inspired.
-
Spirituality
Spirit directs our attention to the cosmos and the planet; to huge ideas and vast adventures; to prayer, meditation and other spiritual practices; to a worldview and philosophy of life. Spirit expands our heart and mind, gives us vision and courage, and offers us a strong sense of meaning and purpose.
If you have questions, we’re here to help.
