Starting by video, or getting here from Burbank

By video: most Burbank clients choose it. Production schedules, early call times and travel out of the local airport make a fixed drive across the city hard to keep, and video lets you hold the same weekly hour from home, a parked car or a quiet office on the lot, as long as you have privacy.

By car: the common choices are the SR-134 or I-5 toward US-101 or the I-110, then the I-10 west to Venice Blvd. Some drivers prefer US-101 west to the I-405 south instead. All distances here are approximate.

By transit: Metrolink runs from Burbank to Union Station, and Metro Line 33 travels west on Venice Blvd from downtown. Plan ahead with Metrolink and Metro.

Burbank: local context and resources

Burbank is an independent city of 107,337 people as of the 2020 Census (U.S. Census Bureau counts via LA Almanac). It runs its own public school district and is part of Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health Service Area 2, which covers the San Fernando Valley, Glendale and the Santa Clarita Valley (LA County DMH). That page links a school-based collaborative and a peer resource center for Valley residents, and the county 24/7 Help Line covers Burbank too.

Burbank is known for its media and entertainment studios, and many residents build their lives around that work: long shoots, gaps between jobs, freelance income and the pressure of being judged on every project. Those patterns can show up in therapy as anxiety, sleep trouble, drinking more than intended, or depression during a slow season. Our page on therapy for film, TV and live event crew goes deeper. The city’s quieter residential streets also hold plenty of families with nothing to do with the industry, and they are just as welcome.

Who we help in Burbank

• Studio and production workers handling irregular hours, burnout or the stretch between jobs; see therapy for entertainment industry professionals.
• Adults whose drinking or drug use has crept up alongside stress; see dual diagnosis treatment.
• Parents of Burbank teens, through parent-only sessions, family sessions or therapy for the teen.
• College students back in Burbank for a term or a break. When clinically appropriate we write leave of absence or return letters; see therapy for college students.
• Beneficiaries and their trustees: with written permission, attendance and general progress can be shared with a trustee.

In the office or by video: which fits you

If your calendar shifts with production, video keeps therapy steady, and a parent can log in from set or from work. The Mar Vista office is the right fit for Brainspotting, which is office only, for people who want a room away from home, and for anyone already heading to the Westside. Career coaching runs by video or in the office.
