Starting by video, or getting here from La Cañada Flintridge

By video: most La Cañada Flintridge clients start by video. You join from a private room on a phone, tablet or computer, so a weekly session fits around school runs, work and activities without leaving the foothills.

By car: the usual routes start on the I-210, then follow the SR-134 or the SR-2 toward the I-5 or downtown Los Angeles, and finish on the I-10 west. All of them cross the middle of the city, so do a trial run at the time of day you plan to come.

By transit: getting from the foothills to the Westside by bus and rail means several transfers. If you want to try it, plan the trip with Metro maps and schedules; most people from here choose video or drive.

La Cañada Flintridge: local context and resources

La Cañada Flintridge (often typed La Canada Flintridge) is a foothill city of 20,573 residents at the 2020 Census (U.S. Census Bureau, via LA Almanac), just north of Glendale. Although it borders Pasadena, the county Department of Mental Health places it in Service Area 2, the San Fernando Valley, with Glendale, Burbank and La Crescenta-Montrose (LA County DMH). That matters if you are looking for county clinics: yours are organized with the Valley, not the San Gabriel Valley.

This is a residential, family-centered city where school is a big part of family life. That brings real strengths, and for some teens and parents it also brings pressure to keep achieving, little downtime and a sense that problems should stay private. Video therapy from home helps with that last part. For free or low-cost options, La Cañada Flintridge residents can call the county’s 24/7 Help Line at (800) 854-7771 or 211 LA County (LA County DMH).

In the office or by video: which fits you

For La Cañada Flintridge residents, video usually makes weekly therapy realistic, and parents can join a family session from work. The Mar Vista office fits people who want Brainspotting, which we offer in the office only, people who prefer to sit in the room, and anyone who already spends time on the Westside. Career coaching works either way. Many clients mix the two.
