INDIVIDUAL ADULT THERAPY
LOS ANGELES
A safe space where growth and positive change can happen.
Therapy is a relationship unlike any other.
It is transformative, safe and nurturing.
It's the space where growth and positive change can happen, all while helping you heal from traumas and hurts that may be difficult to let go of. At Playa Vista Counseling, our therapeutic relationships with our clients are really sacred to us. We take pride in making sure our clients feel comfortable, safe and understood.
Knocking down roadblocks keeping you from living your best life
Our work together helps people find joy in their lives as we help you work through anxiety, depression, relationship issues, traumas or any other roadblock that's keeping you from living your best life. A great therapist is someone who provides support and empathy while gently challenging you to break out of your comfort zone or try things differently. We strive to do fulfill that expectation with every client and every session.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
If stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship struggles, or feeling stuck are getting in the way of your daily life, therapy can help — you don’t need to be in crisis to benefit. Many people come simply because they’re ready for change. A free introductory call is a low-pressure way to find out if it’s the right step for you.
-
A therapist (like an LMFT or LCSW) provides talk therapy to help you work through emotional and relationship challenges. A psychologist may also do psychological testing, while a psychiatrist is a medical doctor who can prescribe medication. Our team of licensed therapists focuses on evidence-based talk therapy, and we can coordinate with a psychiatrist if medication is something you’d like to explore.
-
It depends on your goals — some people find clarity in a few months, while others value longer-term support. We’ll set goals together early on and check in regularly so the work always feels like it’s moving in a direction that’s right for you.
-
Your first session is mostly about getting to know you — what brought you in, what you’re hoping for, and any questions you have. There’s no pressure to share more than you’re comfortable with. It’s really a chance for us to start building a comfortable, trusting relationship.
-
Yes. What you share in therapy is private and protected, with only a few legal exceptions related to safety that we’ll explain clearly up front. Our goal is for you to feel completely safe being open with us.
-
Sessions are $150 for 50 minutes. We’re an out-of-network provider and can supply a superbill for possible reimbursement through your PPO plan. We’re glad to talk through fees and options on your free introductory call.
