Some locations offer weekend appointments.

We have a play therapy room set up for our kid clients. We utilize art, games, sand tray, and many other forms of “play” to help children work through the things with which they are struggling.

Here is a short list: relationship issues, depression, anxiety, anger management, kids and teens, young adults, addiction, parenting, postpartum depression, adoption and infertility, grief and loss, sexual issues, divorce, life transitions, LGBTQ issues, abuse/trauma, brain injury, and more.

This is a freeing experience—one where you will be met with unconditional support and acceptance. It may be the first time in your life you don’t feel judged or looked down on.

Your therapist will listen and provide insight into your situation and where they see the unhealthy patterns forming in your life and relationships.

Together, you will set goals for how you’d like your life to be better.

They will also give you tools to help you cope with overwhelming thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

Together, you will work with your therapist to identify goals and meet them.

Yes! We work with many insurance plans, and even if we’re not in-network with your specific plan, you may still have valuable out-of-network mental health benefits. Coverage varies from person to person, so the best way to know what your sessions will cost is to give us a call. Our Client Care Coordinators are happy to verify your benefits for you, explain your coverage, estimate your out-of-pocket costs, and answer any questions you have—at no cost.

Many of our clients are pleasantly surprised to learn that their insurance covers a significant portion of their sessions. In some cases, sessions are even covered at 100%. We also work with many plans directly, including Adventist Health, Tricare, Anthem Blue Cross Medi-Cal, Partnership HealthPlan of California, and others. If you’re unsure about your coverage, we’d love to help you figure it out. Give us a call—we’re happy to check your benefits for you before you schedule your first appointment.

Our fees range from $185 to $205 per session, depending on whether you are coming in for individual, couples, or family therapy.

Our therapists utilize evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance Commitment Therapy.

Others that are used include Solutions Focused, Strengths Based, and Transpersonal and Jungian Therapy.

If you are unsure whom you want to see, we will talk about your needs in our first phone call. Based on what you are looking for, I will match you with the therapist I believe would be the best fit for you and your situation.

Yes, we understand that this happens occasionally and we want to work with you to find the person with whom you feel most comfortable working. If this happens, just call the office number and a client care coordinator will call you back and match you with a new therapist.

No, but you can if you want to! Believe it or not, it’s the teenagers we see who want to lie on the couch the most. We tell them they can, as long as they don’t fall asleep. 🙂 We also have couches that recline or floor cushions you can sit on. Whatever sitting (or lying) position will help you feel relaxed and comfortable, is what’s important.

We don’t force anyone cry. However, it is common for tears to come up, when talking about difficult things.

Tears are a release of cortisol, which is our stress hormone. If you happen to cry, you can think of crying as a release of this stress that you are carrying around.

Only the best – Kleenex extra soft. 🙂
