WEEKLY THERAPY · CALIFORNIA
Therapy for adults in California, by video or in person
Individual, couples and family therapy with Angelina DeSanto, LCSW, our Clinical Director. Meet by video from anywhere in California, or in person at our office in Fountain Valley.
We check your insurance benefits before your first session, and you can usually start soon.
WHAT WE OFFER
Therapy for one person, two, or a whole family
Individual therapy
Weekly sessions for adults dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, life changes, grief or relationship patterns that keep repeating. We look at what is happening now and the patterns underneath it.
Couples therapy
For partners who want to communicate better, rebuild trust or work through a hard season together. Sessions can be by video, with each of you joining from where you are, or in person in Fountain Valley.
Family therapy
For adult family members who want to understand each other and change how the family handles conflict. We pay attention to culture, roles and the history each person brings.

WHEN WEEKLY THERAPY ISN'T ENOUGH
