Services

GroupTherapyLA/NY provides thoughtful, individualized psychotherapy and psychological services for children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. We are a team of experienced psychologists and therapists who work collaboratively to understand each client in depth and provide treatment that is both highly personalized and clinically sophisticated.

Our approach is warm, engaged, and discerning. We look beyond symptoms to understand the full person — then develop a treatment plan that is practical, effective, and deeply attuned to each client’s life.

How We Work

We begin with a careful initial consultation to understand what is bringing you in and what kind of support will be most useful. From there, we match each client with a therapist whose style, expertise, and personality are the best fit.

We provide:

  • Individual therapy for adults, teens, and children
  • Couples therapy
  • Family therapy
  • Parent consultation and coaching
  • Psychological assessments (GTLA only)
  • Collaboration with psychiatrists, schools, and other professionals when helpful

Our goal is to provide treatment that is both emotionally attuned and results-oriented — helping people move forward with greater clarity, stability, and confidence.
