Therapy in Simi Valley.
Therapy for Simi Valley women and couples.
Simi Valley clients work with Cindy at the Westlake Village office or through secure video sessions across California. The focus: fertility and IVF, pregnancy, postpartum, loss, perimenopause, couples work, and divorce and co-parenting.
A specialized practice for Simi Valley
Simi Valley is one of the largest cities in Ventura County and one of the most under-served for reproductive mental health specifically. Families here often end up with a generalist who is kind but unfamiliar with the clinical particulars — how an IVF protocol reshapes a marriage, why intrusive thoughts after birth are frightening but common and treatable. Specialization changes how quickly that work moves.

How sessions work for Simi Valley clients
Cindy sees Simi Valley clients in person at her Westlake Village office (Conejo Valley, 91362) and via secure telehealth anywhere in California. Both formats run the same depth of work — weekly, relational, unhurried. Licensed in California (LMFT #81539) and a Certified Group Psychotherapist.
