Sound familiar?

"We keep having the same fight."
Therapy teaches conflict skills you can use in the moment, so you can feel connected again.
"I can't stop overthinking everything."
Together we work on quieting your mind and building a sense of safety in your body.
"I don't know where I'm going in life."
Therapy can help you find direction, and some compassion for yourself while you look.

Questions, briefly

Do you take insurance?

We are in network with Aetna (PPO and EPO plans only), Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Optum and Blue Shield of California. Not every clinician is in network with every plan. If you see a clinician out of network, we provide superbills you can submit to your plan.

Do you see couples and families?

Yes. Couples therapy is our flagship, and several of our clinicians work with families, children and teens.

Is therapy by video as good as in person?

It is the same treatment, delivered on a HIPAA compliant platform with no download. It is not the right fit for everyone, including people experiencing active psychosis, active substance use, recent suicidal thoughts, or a poor internet connection.

Can I choose my therapist?

Yes. Tell us who you have in mind when you reach out. Finding your fit is so important, and we'll help.

Do you offer sessions in Spanish?

Yes. Dina Abdelaal and Aidé Merito are bilingual, Spanish speaking therapists.

What is your cancellation policy?

Please give at least 48 hours notice on business days. Otherwise the full session fee is charged, and insurance cannot be billed for missed sessions.
