Starting by video, or getting here from Westlake Village

By video: Westlake Village is one of the farthest points in the county from our office, so nearly everyone here starts by video. Many people join from a home office or a conference room with the door closed, which makes a midday session workable on a full workday.

By car: take the US-101 east past Agoura Hills and Calabasas to the I-405 south, then head west on Venice Blvd. Some people prefer to cross the Santa Monica Mountains to Pacific Coast Highway. It is a long trip in either direction, so most Westlake Village clients save the office for Brainspotting or the occasional visit.

By transit: a transit trip to Mar Vista involves several connections. Use Metro’s maps and schedules to plan it.

Westlake Village: local context and resources

Westlake Village is a small planned city: the 2020 Census counted 8,029 residents (U.S. Census Bureau, via LA Almanac). It sits right on the line between Los Angeles County and Ventura County, and this page is about the Los Angeles County city. Within Los Angeles County it falls under Department of Mental Health Service Area 2, the San Fernando Valley area (LA County DMH; LA Almanac). If you are not sure which county services apply to your address, 211 LA County can help you sort it out.

Life in Westlake Village tends to center on a few things: the lake and quiet residential streets, a cluster of corporate offices, and the 101. That mix shapes what people bring to therapy. Some residents work demanding jobs close to home and feel they never leave work; others commute and run short on time and sleep. Life stages matter too: an emptying nest, a couple in transition or adult children helping aging parents. Common focuses include anxiety, depression, grief and relationship strain.

Who we help in Westlake Village

• Professionals with burnout who want a therapy hour that fits inside the workday.
• Couples and families in transition, from a child leaving home to caring for a parent.
• Teens and their parents, with individual, family and parent-only sessions.
• College students and young adults spending time at home. When clinically appropriate we provide leave of absence and return letters; see therapy for college students.
• Families where a trustee is involved. With written permission we share only attendance and general progress.

In the office or by video: which fits you

From Westlake Village, video is the realistic way to keep weekly therapy going, for adults, young adults and teens located in California, and it lets a parent at work and a teen at home join the same family session. Come to Mar Vista for Brainspotting, which is in-office only, or if being in the room matters to you. Career coaching can be done by video or in the office.
