Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Brentwood: Our Wilshire Office

Our Therapists Have Been Featured In

The Cost of Seeming Fine

From the outside, nothing is wrong. Work gets done and plans get kept. The effort that goes into producing that picture is the part nobody sees, and that private effort is a real cost you have been paying alone, on top of the problem itself.

The gap between how things look and what they take out of you is worth taking seriously on its own. Privacy does not require doing it alone. A consultation for cognitive behavioral therapy in Brentwood is confidential from the first phone call onward, and what you are managing privately can be treated the same way.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Brentwood, on Wilshire

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Los Angeles serves Brentwood from its Westwood/Brentwood office at 11645 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 1030, Los Angeles, CA 90025, with telehealth available throughout California. The office sits on Wilshire Boulevard in Brentwood itself.

You can hold a standing office session, meet by video, or alternate between the two; the protocol does not change with the room, and both offices and all video care are scheduled through the same consultation line. Appointments at the Wilshire office and by video are held by the same clinicians at the same fee, and a course of treatment can move between them without restarting.

From Everyday Anxiety to OCD Subtypes

The practice treats the full CBT range: anxiety and worry, depression, panic, phobias, insomnia, ADHD, trauma, anger, and OCD in its specific presentations. Depth matters most at that last item. OCD rarely looks like the stereotype; it can center on contamination, on unwanted harm-related thoughts, on symmetry, or on doubt itself. Unwanted intrusive thoughts are common in OCD and are not intentions, and treating them as symptoms rather than secrets is where good care begins.

Each presentation calls for careful, well-paced ERP, the exposure-based treatment documented by the International OCD Foundation; our approach is described on our OCD treatment page. If what brings you here is more ordinary than that, the same standard applies: a specific assessment and a named protocol, with the reasoning for the choice explained in plain terms before anything begins. The complete list is on what CBT treats.

Free 15-minute consultation. No pressure to schedule.

Measurement-Based CBT, Explained

Measurement-based care starts in the first session, not after things stall. You complete brief standardized symptom measures at the outset, repeat them at set points, and review the results together, so the plan is steered by evidence and treatment has a defined endpoint. The structure of the protocol, including its expected length, is explained before you commit to it. Between sessions, protocols assign specific practice, because the method works through what you do as much as what you discuss.

Each clinician here is a licensed doctoral-level psychologist, one of twelve at the practice. Sessions are $250 to $350; we provide superbills, and many PPO plans reimburse 50 to 80 percent of the fee. Our standards for what counts as evidence-based follow the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies, and the practical details live on fees and insurance.

Telehealth And Therapy In Person

Telehealth is half the design of this practice. Protocols are chosen and structured to run identically in the office and on video, which is what makes statewide California care possible and keeps a Brentwood course of treatment flexible. Start in either format and change your mind later; the treatment does not reset, and the psychologist stays the same. The two formats also cover the realities of a long course of care: travel, work seasons, and school terms do not have to interrupt a protocol mid-arc.

You are good at hard things when they come with a method. This one comes with a method, and what happens in CBT lays it out session by session. The consultation call settles format, fit, and psychologist match in one conversation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a CBT therapist in Brentwood?

Yes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Los Angeles operates its Westwood/Brentwood office at 11645 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 1030, in Brentwood, staffed by twelve doctoral-level psychologists practicing CBT and related evidence-based therapies, with video sessions available across California.

How much does CBT cost in Brentwood?

Sessions are $250 to $350 with a doctoral-level psychologist. The practice is out-of-network; superbills are provided, and many PPO plans reimburse 50 to 80 percent of the fee after the deductible. On the free consultation call, our coordinator helps estimate what your specific plan would cover.

Does talking about intrusive thoughts in therapy make them worse?

Handled properly, no. Research collected by the International OCD Foundation shows that structured, gradual exposure reduces the power intrusive thoughts hold, while avoidance and reassurance-seeking keep the cycle going. The work is paced deliberately with a psychologist trained in ERP.

Can I alternate between online and in-person sessions?

Yes. Both formats run the same protocols with the same psychologists, so switching between them does not interrupt treatment. You can choose week to week based on your schedule, and the plan itself stays constant.

How do I know if I need therapy or just a rough patch?

If it has outlasted the situation that started it, or it is costing you things you care about, it has earned a consultation. The free call is built for exactly this question, and if therapy is not warranted, we will say so.
