Therapy in Manhattan Beach.
Specialized telehealth for the South Bay, with in-person available.
Most Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, and Redondo Beach clients work with Cindy via telehealth — the drive to West Hollywood from the South Bay is real. In-person sessions at the West Hollywood office are available for clients who want them.
A specialized practice for Manhattan Beach
The South Bay's mix of young families, dual-career households, and beach-community calm sits alongside the same pressures every LA-area family faces around fertility, parenthood, and the hormonal transitions of midlife. Specialized care that respects how stretched a South Bay schedule actually is — that's what telehealth makes possible.
How sessions work for Manhattan Beach clients
Cindy sees Manhattan Beach clients in-person at her West Hollywood office (8702 Santa Monica Blvd.) and via secure telehealth for sessions you'd rather take from home or work. Both options run the same depth of work — weekly, relational, no time-pressure.
