Services for El Segundo residents
- Individual therapy: one-on-one sessions that draw on CBT, DBT, ACT or EMDR, matched to what each El Segundo client needs. Brainspotting is offered in our office only.
- Psychiatric care: psychiatric care and medication management can be arranged. Your therapist coordinates it with you.
- Teens and families: teen therapy, family sessions and parent-only sessions. Either parent can consent for a teen. High school seniors who have turned 18 can be seen too. For an El Segundo high schooler, our page on teen therapy for South Bay families explains the options.
- Career coaching: strengths-based help for young adults and anyone stuck. It also serves people in recovery. Coaching for El Segundo clients happens by video or at our Mar Vista office. It can stand alone or pair with therapy.
- Concierge Outpatient Program: an individualized alternative to IOP, with no groups. Sessions are one-on-one, typically 3 to 5 hours weekly. Teens typically stay in school, with sessions inside weekday hours. Some Saturday therapy appointments are available.
Getting here from El Segundo, or starting by video
By car: from El Segundo, Sepulveda Blvd north runs through the airport tunnel and up toward Venice Blvd, and the I-405 north is the freeway option. Airport traffic is the wild card on both, so a midday or early afternoon slot can be easier than one at the start of the evening rush.
By transit: the Metro K Line serves the El Segundo area and connects north to the E Line at Expo/Crenshaw for the trip west toward Culver City; Metro Line 33 runs along Venice Blvd. Check Metro’s maps and schedules before your first visit.
By video: plenty of El Segundo professionals take a session from a private room at the office or at home on a lunch hour, then come into Mar Vista for the occasional longer visit.
El Segundo: local context and resources
El Segundo is a small coastal city of 17,272 residents at the 2020 Census (U.S. Census Bureau figures via LA Almanac), wedged between LAX and the beach. It sits in Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health Service Area 8 (DMH Service Area 8 summary; LA County DMH), the same county service area as Manhattan Beach and Torrance, so county clinics and programs for El Segundo residents are organized through the South Bay.
The city has a close-knit residential side, with its own school district, and a large daytime workforce of aerospace, technology and corporate employees who commute in. That mix shapes what people bring to therapy here: high-stakes deadlines and long hours, the stress of layoffs or reorganizations, and parents juggling demanding jobs with a teen at home. For some, the real problem is focus and follow-through, and we treat adult ADHD alongside the anxiety it often brings. Free and low-cost county services are listed through 211 LA County.

In the office or by video: which fits you
For most El Segundo residents the office is close, and it is where Brainspotting happens. Video fits a workday with no slack in it, including a session from a private office near the airport, or a parent joining a family session from a desk nearby. Many people split it: video on busy weeks, the office when there is time.
Questions from El Segundo residents
Do you have an office in El Segundo?
No. Our only office is at 12326 Venice Blvd in Mar Vista, about 6 miles from central El Segundo in a straight line. El Segundo clients come in person or use secure video.
Can I fit therapy around a demanding job in El Segundo?
Yes. Sessions run Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM, and video lets El Segundo workers meet from a private room at work or at home without crossing the airport.
Is the airport traffic a problem for getting to your office?
It can be. Sepulveda Blvd and the I-405 both pass LAX, so pick a session time away from the evening rush, or start by video and come in when it is easier.
Do you help with stress after a layoff or a reorganization at work?
Yes. We help El Segundo adults with the anxiety, low mood and loss of direction that can follow a job change. Career coaching can be added if you want practical help with next steps.
Is career coaching available to El Segundo residents?
Yes. Career coaching is available by video or at our Mar Vista office, for El Segundo residents and anyone feeling stuck with work, school or independence.
