CBT Therapy Near UCLA: Doctoral Psychologists on Wilshire

Our Therapists Have Been Featured In

It Counts Even If You're Coping

Measured against someone else's worse, your situation will always lose the comparison, and the comparison settles nothing. Meanwhile, the real measurements drift: the meeting you stopped speaking in, the invitations you keep declining, until the week itself has narrowed. That narrowing is treatable, and treatable is the only comparison that matters. CBT therapy near UCLA replaces the ranking exercise with a baseline, standardized measures of where you actually are, and the free 15-minute call is where that starts. The baseline is private, concrete, and yours alone to act on.

Measurement From Session One: How Treatment Runs

This practice runs on measurement-based care from the first session. You complete brief standardized symptom scales at the start, an assessment turns them into a baseline, and a named protocol follows, with its expected structure explained before you commit. The scales repeat at set points and are reviewed with you, so the plan is steered by data you can see.

The scales take minutes, and they are the same instruments used in clinical research. Nothing in the plan is altered without the two of you looking at the same numbers first.

Protocols carry a defined arc, stated up front, and homework between sessions is part of the method. Every clinician here holds a doctorate in psychology. Sessions are $250 to $350; we provide superbills, and many PPO plans reimburse 50 to 80 percent of the fee. Details are on fees and insurance.

Adult ADHD Testing and Panic Treatment Near UCLA

Panic that arrives mid-lecture or mid-meeting, with no obvious trigger, is treated with a brief, targeted protocol, designed to retrain the body's alarm response through structured and repeated practice, described on CBT for panic attacks and profiled in the Anxiety and Depression Association of America's clinical library.

Adult ADHD, including the version first suspected long after school, gets a structured evaluation through our ADHD testing service, with the written report delivered on a 48-hour turnaround; the condition itself is well documented by CHADD, the national ADHD organization. Those are two examples, not the boundary: anxiety, depression, OCD, insomnia, phobias, trauma, and anger all have named protocols here, and the full inventory is on what CBT treats. Whichever problem is yours, it gets a named protocol and a stated structure, never an open tab of unscheduled talking.

Free 15-minute consultation. No pressure to schedule.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Los Angeles, in Brief

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Los Angeles is an independent group practice, unaffiliated with UCLA, of twelve doctoral-level licensed psychologists working in CBT, ACT, ERP, and CBT-I. Offices at 11645 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 1030, Los Angeles, CA 90025 and 444 S. Marengo Ave., Pasadena, CA 91101; telehealth throughout California.

Reaching Us From the UCLA Area

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Los Angeles serves the UCLA area 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 where Westwood meets Brentwood, close to Westwood Village and campus.

Students, staff, faculty, and nearby professionals are all welcome. Video sessions carry the same protocols and the same psychologists anywhere in California, so a session does not depend on being on the Westside that day, and a course of treatment can follow you through a move, a placement, or a summer elsewhere in the state. Scheduling runs through one consultation line for both offices and video, and the first call is identical regardless of format. Neighboring pages: Westwood, Brentwood, and the service area list.

Choosing CBT Care That Shows Its Work

A practice that measures openly is easier to evaluate. You see the baseline, then the scores as they come in, and decisions about the plan follow the scores. If a protocol needs changing, that conversation happens explicitly, with the numbers on the table, and what happens in CBT lays the whole sequence out in advance.

Checking the evidence before committing is how you already make decisions that matter. Therapy here is built to be decided on the same way: visible method, visible credentials, and a free consultation call before any of it costs anything.

The credential floor matters as much as the method. Every therapist at the practice is a licensed doctoral-level psychologist; you can read each clinician's background on our psychologists page and request anyone by name before a first session is ever booked.

Where can I get adult ADHD testing near UCLA?

What if I've never been in therapy before?

Then the structure helps: assessment comes first, and the protocol is explained in plain terms before anything is booked. No prior experience is assumed, and the consultation call is where your questions get answered.

Should I choose in-person or online sessions?

Whichever is easier to keep, since both run the same protocols with the same psychologists. Start either way and switch when your schedule changes; the treatment plan stays the same throughout.
