Therapy across Los Angeles County, Orange County, and California.

About California telehealth

California has one of the strongest telehealth regulatory frameworks in the country (Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code §2290.5). For our clients, this means three practical things:

• Coverage parity — most California insurance plans cover telehealth at the same rate as in-person care.
• Continuity — the same clinician sees you in person or online; we don't switch you between providers when you switch formats.
• Statewide access — anywhere in California, from a private space with a stable internet connection, qualifies.

The one constraint: you must be physically located in California at the time of session. If you travel out of state for a stretch, we coordinate around it. See our Telehealth Agreement for the legal details.

How to choose between in-person and telehealth

There is no clinical reason to prefer one format over the other for most presentations — research consistently shows comparable outcomes. The right format is the format that gets you in the room consistently.

Practical things people consider:

• Commute time. If door-to-door is more than 35–40 minutes one way, telehealth often holds up better long-term.
• Privacy at home. If you don't have a private space where you can talk freely, the office is the right call.
• Modality. EMDR, ERP, and some forms of exposure work in either format. Group therapy works in both, with somewhat different rhythms.
• Personal preference. Some people want the ritual of leaving the house for therapy; others find that ritual is a barrier.

Our intake conversation includes a discussion of which format will be more sustainable for you. You can switch between them later — we hold continuity through the change.
