Hancock Park and Larchmont: local context and resources

Hancock Park was laid out in the 1920s by G. Allan Hancock as a residential subdivision of large Period Revival homes, and the City Council adopted the Hancock Park Historic Preservation Overlay Zone in 2008 (Los Angeles City Planning). Larchmont Village, the shopping street along Larchmont Blvd, is the everyday center for families on both sides. Neither is a separate Census place, so we do not quote a population.

For county mental health services, Hancock Park sits in Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health Service Area 4, with Koreatown, Mid-City and the Miracle Mile (LA County DMH). Many households here have children in public and private schools nearby, and the stresses we hear about are often about academic pressure, college decisions, a teen pulling away, a marriage under strain, or a young adult who has come home and stalled. Parents sometimes want help for themselves first, before a teen is ready to come in.

Who we help in Hancock Park and Larchmont

• Parents who want guidance on their own through parent-only sessions, or with a teen in family sessions. See family services.
• High school students with anxiety, low mood or academic pressure; see the Mid-Wilshire, Hancock Park and Los Feliz teen page.
• Couples and partners working through strain; see relationship counseling.
• Young adults and college students home in Hancock Park or Larchmont. When clinically appropriate, we provide leave of absence and return letters. See therapy for college students.

In the office or by video: which fits you

The drive from Larchmont to Mar Vista is short enough that many families come in, and the office is the only place we offer Brainspotting. Video often fits a parent session squeezed into a workday or a teen with a packed afternoon. Plenty of Hancock Park families use both, and we plan that together on the first call.
