Starting by video, or getting here from Monrovia
By video: most Monrovia clients start here. You join from a private room on a phone, tablet or computer, so a session can fit before a commute, on a lunch break or after the kids are in bed.
By car: from Monrovia the usual route is the I-210 west to the SR-134, or the I-10 west through downtown Los Angeles to the Westside. Both cross the whole basin, so drive it once at your planned time before booking in person.
By transit: Monrovia has a Metro A Line station, and the line runs into downtown Los Angeles. From there the E Line heads west and Metro Line 33 runs along Venice Blvd. It is a long ride; check Metro maps and schedules.
Monrovia: local context and resources
Monrovia is a foothill city of 37,931 residents at the 2020 Census (U.S. Census Bureau, via LA Almanac), with a historic downtown and neighborhoods that climb toward the mountains. The county Department of Mental Health places it in Service Area 3, the San Gabriel Valley, with Arcadia, Duarte and Azusa (LA County DMH).
Many Monrovia households are families and commuters, with long days split between home and jobs elsewhere in the region. That often shows up in therapy as stress that builds quietly: little time for a partner, worry about kids, drinking that crept up, or burnout that feels normal because everyone around you is busy too. The county’s 24/7 Help Line at (800) 854-7771 and 211 LA County can point Monrovia residents to free or low-cost care (LA County DMH).
Who we help in Monrovia
- Monrovia commuters and working parents with anxiety, depression or burnout.

In the office or by video: which fits you
Video usually fits Monrovia residents whose days already include a long commute, and it lets a parent join a family session from work. The Mar Vista office fits people who want Brainspotting, which we offer in the office only, and people who would rather meet face to face, perhaps on a day they are already on the Westside. Career coaching works either way. You can switch between them.
