Therapy in Sherman Oaks.
Therapy for Sherman Oaks — up the 101 or on video.
Sherman Oaks clients have a straightforward drive to the Westlake Village office along the 101, and many opt for telehealth instead. Both options work.
A specialized practice for Sherman Oaks
Sherman Oaks is family-dense, with a real concentration of young parents and women in midlife — exactly the demographics most under-served by general therapy. Cindy specializes in the seasons of life Sherman Oaks families actually navigate.
How sessions work for Sherman Oaks clients
Most Sherman Oaks clients work with Cindy via secure telehealth — encrypted video, weekly, the same depth as sitting in the room. For those who prefer to be in person, the Westlake Village office is a manageable drive. Licensed in California (LMFT #81539) and a Certified Group Psychotherapist.
