Therapy in Santa Monica.
Therapy for Santa Monica families, by video or in Westlake Village.
Santa Monica clients most often work with Cindy by secure telehealth, with in-person sessions available at the Westlake Village office for those who prefer the room. Both run the same depth of work.
A specialized practice for Santa Monica
Santa Monica has a thriving community of young families and professionals navigating the early years of partnership, parenthood, and career. The same demographic that powers the city also faces real strain when fertility, postpartum, or midlife transitions arrive. Cindy's practice meets that strain with care that doesn't ask you to fit your life into a 45-minute box.

How sessions work for Santa Monica clients
