CBT Therapists Serving Westwood: Our Wilshire Boulevard Office

Our Therapists Have Been Featured In

No Crisis Required

There is no threshold you have to reach before therapy becomes reasonable. Workable-but-heavy qualifies. Functioning-but-tired qualifies. The consultation call asks what your days look like and whether a structured protocol would help, and nobody asks you to prove that things are bad enough first. A CBT therapist in Westwood can answer that question in plain terms, and the answer is allowed to be no. Starting while things still mostly work is a legitimate use of therapy, not an overreaction.

One CBT Practice for Whatever It Turns Out to Be

You do not need the right label before you call. People arrive here describing sleep, or focus, or dread on Sunday nights, and the assessment's job is to work out what is actually going on, then match you to the clinician who specializes in it. If the picture that emerges differs from the one you walked in with, the match changes with it; nothing restarts.

A diagnosis here works as a tool. It exists to select the protocol and to give you and your therapist a shared, precise name for the target, and every therapist you could land with is a licensed doctoral-level psychologist. Backgrounds and specialties are on our psychologists page, and you can request anyone directly.

The same standards for assessment and progress measurement apply whichever clinician you sit with. The framework itself is cognitive behavioral therapy in its modern, evidence-tested forms, CBT, ACT, ERP, and CBT-I among them, each aimed at changing what maintains a problem rather than only describing it.

A CBT Therapist in Westwood: Wilshire Office and Video

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Los Angeles serves Westwood 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 UCLA.

Sessions run in person there or by secure video anywhere in California, on the same protocols with the same psychologists, and you can move between formats without disrupting the plan. One consultation line books both, and if Pasadena is more practical for you, the second office runs on the same standards and the same line covers it. Neighboring pages: Brentwood, Near UCLA, and the full service area list.

Treatment for Phobias, Health Anxiety, and Beyond

The full range is treated here: anxiety, depression, OCD, panic, insomnia, ADHD, trauma, and anger among them. Specific phobias, from flying to needles, are treated with short, structured exposure protocols; ours are described on our phobia treatment page, and the condition itself is profiled by the National Institute of Mental Health. Exposure work is graduated and collaborative: nothing is sprung on you, and the pace is set with you at every step.

Health anxiety, the loop of symptom-checking and reassurance-seeking, is treated as the behavioral pattern it is; see CBT for health concerns. Whatever the problem, the sequence holds: an assessment, then a named protocol whose logic you can inspect. The complete list is on what CBT treats. Both conditions are examples rather than the boundary; the caseload runs the full width of the list above.

A CBT Course, Start to Finish

The first sessions build an assessment and a baseline on standardized symptom measures. Measurement-based care runs from session one: the measures repeat at set points, you review them with your psychologist, and the plan is adjusted on evidence. The first protocol choice is not a life sentence; when the data argues for an adjustment, the plan gets one.

Sessions are weekly in most protocols, with a defined arc stated up front. Progress reviews are built into the calendar rather than left to chance. Homework between sessions is part of the method, since the treatment works through practice as much as conversation. The American Psychological Association's overview of how psychotherapy is evaluated describes the evidence standards this practice works to.

Every clinician 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. The mechanics are on fees and insurance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is your Westwood office located?

At 11645 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 1030, Los Angeles, CA 90025, on Wilshire where Westwood meets Brentwood, close to Westwood Village and UCLA. A second office operates in Pasadena, and video sessions are available anywhere in California.

What is measurement-based care in therapy?

It means treatment decisions are guided by repeated, standardized symptom measures reviewed with you at set points. You complete brief scales at the start and along the way, and the plan is kept or changed based on what the scores and your experience show.

How long does treatment for a specific phobia take?

Specific phobia protocols are the shortest in CBT: some single-phobia treatments are designed to run in roughly one to five extended sessions. The exact structure depends on the phobia and the person, and your psychologist confirms the expected course after assessment.

Can I choose my therapist?

Yes. You can request any psychologist on the team directly, or describe the problem and let us propose the best-matched clinician. Either way, the choice is confirmed with you before the first session is booked.

The consultation is free, takes fifteen minutes, and ends with something concrete: a proposed psychologist and protocol, or an honest referral elsewhere if we are not the right practice. Book online or call 888-813-9613. In person on Wilshire, or by video anywhere in California.

The hardest part is the first call. It takes just a few minutes.
