Therapy will change your life
Therapy aims to reduce long-standing and daily pain. Often, people have dealt with their problems for decades before they come in to therapy. And it’s a pain they are burdened by daily.
Therapy is the business of reducing sometimes the biggest and most fundamental problems people face: self-worth, chronic issues with anxiety, sleeplessness, intimacy, and safety.
We expect that therapy gives you the best chance at solving these problems in the most healthy and effective way.
In order to do that, one thing is essential: making sure you have the right therapist who will actually make a difference in your life.
The right therapist determines your success
Research shows that your felt connection with your therapist is best way to predict your growth toward your goals, and to reduce the emotional pain you experience in your life. If you want to reduce your anxiety, or create a loving relationship, your success will depend on your ability to receive care from the right therapist who you feel great with.
The value of your therapy will depend then on the connection you feel with your therapist.
This is why we are independent from insurance companies.
We believe strongly in your need to have direct care from a therapist you choose. The change you want in your life depends on it.

How we approach fees
Our fees are a reflection of market rates for the experience and specialization of our therapists. You will have a direct financial relationship with your therapist. They personally – not the insurance company – are invested in your progress and health.
Our fees range from $150 to $345 per hour.
Most of our therapists are around the $180-225 range, which is market rate for a private practice therapist in the Los Angeles area.
We are confident that we can help you achieve lasting emotional relief through therapy, and that the best chance at doing that is with finding you the right therapist.
Many people waste money on a therapist who isn’t a good fit for them.
They don’t make progress on the goals they came in for. That usually happens because there’s pressure, early on, to choose a therapist based not on the client’s direct relationship with the therapist, but on logistical factors or guilt. Let us help you find the right therapist for you so you can make needed change.
