About Ilana Grines
Therapy that meets you where you are and helps you move toward who you want to be.
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Sex Therapist based in California (LMFT #116296), with more than a decade of clinical experience supporting individuals and couples.
I founded Daily Therapy Dose as a space to make therapy insights more accessible — to bridge the gap between what we discuss in session and what people quietly wonder about in their everyday lives.
My clinical work is grounded in attachment theory, nervous system regulation, and a deep understanding of how our early stories shape our adult patterns.
I’ve continued advanced training through Modern Sex Therapy Institutes and ongoing professional development in clinical sexology, focusing on the intersections of desire, communication, and emotional intimacy.

Testimonials
"I feel so lucky and blessed to have been matched with Ilana! She is just what I needed. She cuts through the complications and details and gets right to the root of things -- and then proposes specific, actionable ways to improve the situation. Ilana's natural empathy and positive attitude shine through at all times."
“Ilana is great at providing support and giving the tools that are needed to improve one's mental health.”
“Ilana immediately made me feel open, comfortable and heard. She really takes my needs into account and is very easy to talk to. I trust her!”
"Ilana helped my wife and I get back to the love we had when we first met. She really understands couples. A lot of my wife's concerns with therapy in the past stemmed from therapists taking a side and Ilana never made either of us feel like we were being teamed up on. I suggest Ilana!"
I founded Daily Therapy Dose (DTD) in 2020 during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. I saw the potential for a community that addressed the rising concerns in mental health. DTD is here to provide useful information regarding mental health through a variety of platforms. The goal is to connect therapists, thinkers, and learners to make therapy accessible to all. We want to spread the conversation about wellbeing and growing into your healthiest self.
