Starting by video, or getting here from Glendale

By video: this is how most Glendale clients work with us. About 14 miles across the city is a real trip on a weekday, and a video session lets you meet from a quiet room at home or a closed office downtown on Brand Blvd without losing the afternoon.

By car: drivers usually take the I-5 or SR-134 toward US-101 or the I-110, then the I-10 west toward Venice Blvd. Distances are approximate and traffic varies a great deal, so test the route once before you commit to a weekly in-person time.

By transit: Metrolink trains run from Glendale to Union Station, and from downtown Metro Line 33 follows Venice Blvd west past our block. Check Metrolink and Metro schedules first.

Glendale: local context and resources

Glendale is one of the largest cities in Los Angeles County, with 196,543 residents counted in the 2020 Census (U.S. Census Bureau figures via LA Almanac). It is its own city, not a Los Angeles neighborhood, and it sits in Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health Service Area 2, the San Fernando Valley region, together with Burbank and La Canada Flintridge (LA County DMH).

The Service Area 2 page lists public options worth knowing about, including a peer resource center and a shared community resource directory, and 211 LA County can point you to free or low-cost help nearby (211 LA). Private therapy can sit beside those services. A busy regional business and retail center like Glendale often means long workdays and family obligations that stack up, and searches from Glendale reach us most often about borderline personality disorder, medication management and serious mental illness such as schizophrenia. Those are conditions where steady, coordinated care matters more than location.

Who we help in Glendale

• Adults with intense emotions or unstable relationships, including people looking for DBT skills for BPD.
• Adults and young adults with ADHD, anxiety or depression that makes work and home harder to manage.
• Families supporting someone with a serious mental illness, where therapy, family sessions and arranged psychiatric care work together.
• College students home in Glendale between terms; when clinically appropriate we provide letters for a leave of absence or a return. See therapy for college students.
• Families working with a trustee: with written permission, we share attendance and general progress only.

In the office or by video: which fits you

For most Glendale residents, video is the practical choice for weekly therapy, and it lets a parent join from work. Come to Mar Vista if you want Brainspotting, which we only do in person, if you prefer sitting in the room, or if your week already brings you to the Westside. Career coaching works either way. Many people combine the two.
