Meet our Founder
Torri Efron Pelton, LMFT
The Bloss was founded by Torri Efron Pelton, who drew from her own powerful healing journey to create this transformative space. When she was young, Torri battled eating disorders, and through the process of treatment and healing she was witness to many ways the industry fails. While fortunate enough to have access to care, it was painful to see many other young people unable to maintain the support they needed due to financial barriers and other industry obstacles. Torri's personal breakthrough came from the special human connection she formed with her therapist over years of counseling. This inspired her vision - to revolutionize the therapy experience itself, bringing wellness to the center of life.
Meet some of our Therapists
Talia Mann, AMFT
I’m an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. I received my Master of Arts degree in Clinical Psychology and I completed my traineeship at a residential addiction treatment center in Los Angeles where I worked with clients struggling with substance use.
I also have experience working at an eating disorder treatment center where I provided psychotherapy, group therapy, and personalized treatment for adult and adolescent patients in PHP and IOP programs.
I utilize a variety of treatment models including Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. I am also an EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) trained therapist. I specialize in eating disorders, grief, and loss, anxiety, depression, addiction, and trauma-related issues.
I am a weight-inclusive, Health At Every Size, and Intuitive Eating-aligned clinician.
The relationship you have with your therapist is essential for your growth and change. I strive to create a secure, nurturing, and trusting relationship with all my clients to safely explore obstacles and process trauma. Ultimately, I want to help you lead your best, most authentic, and meaningful life. I’m currently accepting new clients. I would be honored to support you on your mental health journey.
Alexis Gilliam Lerner, AMFT
Looking for a therapist can be mutually daunting and exciting. It takes a tremendous amount of courage and vulnerability to decide to get support in any area of your life, and I am available to empower and guide you on your therapeutic journey. I offer a Relational Gestalt approach to therapy, which means that we build an alliance together focusing on embodiment and what is present for you in the moment. I bear witness and support you in increasing your awareness of your experience as we share space for your transformational healing.
My goal for our work in individual or relationship therapy is to empower you to not only feel joy and pleasure on your sunny days, but also guide you to learn how to dance in the rain. I specialize in working with clients that live with anxiety, depression, trauma, intergenerational trauma, workplace difficulty, life transitions, aging and relational issues.
I also enjoy working with BIPOC clients’ challenges and joy, male clients’ trauma and difficulties, support for female clients in all aspects and stages of life, LGBTQIA+ clients and adolescents.
