Starting by video, or getting here from Los Feliz

By video: Los Feliz is across central Los Angeles from Mar Vista, so video is the easy way to keep a weekly session. Join from a private room at home, and come to the office for Brainspotting or when you prefer to be in the room.

By car: from Los Feliz the usual route is the US-101 toward downtown, the I-110 south and the I-10 west. Some people cut across on Los Feliz Blvd or through Hollywood to the Westside instead. Try the trip once at your usual hour.

By transit: Metro rail into downtown and then the E Line west toward Culver City is possible, and Metro Line 33 runs along Venice Blvd near our office. Check Metro’s maps and schedules.

Los Feliz: local context and resources

Los Feliz is a City of Los Angeles neighborhood at the foot of Griffith Park, which covers over 4,210 acres and is described by the city’s Griffith Observatory as the largest urban-wilderness municipal park in the United States (Griffith Observatory, City of Los Angeles). For many Los Feliz residents the trails are part of how they look after themselves, and we often build walking or time outdoors into a plan for anxiety or low mood.

Los Feliz belongs to Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health Service Area 4 (LA County DMH), which is the system to check for free or low-cost county clinics. It has no separate Census population count. The neighborhood mixes historic homes with apartments, and many residents work in entertainment and creative fields. What people bring to therapy often reflects that: uneven work, pressure to keep up, family transitions in an older home, or a young adult who is not sure what comes next.

Who we help in Los Feliz

In the office or by video: which fits you

For Los Feliz residents, video usually fits weekly therapy and parents who join from work. The Mar Vista office fits Brainspotting, which is office only, and people who want the room, especially if they are on the Westside for other reasons. Career coaching works either way. Mixing the two is common, and we talk it through on the first call.
