Do you practice teletherapy?
I see clients on limited days in-person. My office is located in a medical office building that is handicap accessible, with air conditioning in West LA. The office is located on the second floor, with an elevator. There is street parking and a paid lot attached to the building. The office is accessible by public transport.
I provide psychotherapy via video-conferencing through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform (Google meet). Please contact me for further information or to set up a virtual appointment. Phone appointments are welcome.
What about consultation? Medication?
In some cases, a combination of medication and therapy is the right course of action. While I do not prescribe medication, I will refer you to a trusted psychiatrist or I will work with your medical doctor to determine what seems best for you. An integrated approach combining therapy with medication frequently yields excellent and lasting results. This required client authorizing release of information.
