Evidence Based Psychological Care

Therapy for Children & Teens

Up to age 21 · $205–$350/session

Weekly 45-minute therapy for children, teens and young adults, starting with a 90-minute intake and clear, measurable goals. Clinicians use cognitive behavioral therapy, exposure and response prevention, DBT skills, ACT and parent management training for anxiety, OCD, ADHD and executive function, behavior and anger, teen mood, school stress, autism-related needs, and tics. Parents are coached alongside their child. Sessions are in person in Calabasas or by telehealth anywhere in California, with after-school, evening and Saturday times with some clinicians. Sessions cost $205 to $350 depending on the clinician. The practice does not bill insurance directly but checks out-of-network benefits and can submit claims for families.

The process is a free 20-minute call, a 90-minute parent intake, usually two to three one-on-one testing sessions, and a feedback session and written report within four weeks of testing. Testing is aimed to start within two weeks, at the Calabasas office. Reports can support 504 plans, IEPs and testing accommodations. Fees are set by scope and confirmed before scheduling; many PPO plans reimburse part of the cost.
