NEW PATIENT PROCESS
Getting started is easy!
To request an appointment, simply fill out our quick online form or give us a call at (323) 375-0950.
If you plan to use insurance, please have your insurance card (front and back) and a valid California ID ready. You’ll be able to upload clear photos or scans of these documents during the form process. We accept jpg, jpeg, png, or pdf files.
Once your account is created, we’ll ask you to complete a Clinical Intake Form and Service Agreement—this helps us get to know you better and match you with the right provider. After that, we’ll schedule your first appointment!
We’re here to help every step of the way. Let’s take the first step together.
USC, UC and Loyola Marymount students please note that you need to obtain a referral from your health center before completing the registration process.

CANCELLATION POLICY
As a courtesy, our scheduling system will send you an email or text reminder for your upcoming appointment. Notice that missed appointments are not covered by insurance. If you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment please do so 24 hours prior to the appointment, to avoid being charged a missed appointment fee.
All patients who have not been seen in our practice for over one year will be subject to an initial evaluation. We ask our patients to schedule regular follow up sessions immediately after the visit to maintain treatment regularity. We collaborate as a group practice of like-minded professionals. Our providers do not always prescribe medication. The provider will see a patient for an initial evaluation, after which he or she will recommend medication treatment only if they believe it is appropriate. If the provider believes that no medication is needed, he or she will refer the patient to a psychotherapist who will provide appropriate care without the use of prescription medicine. Urgent appointments are available on a case by case basis, please contact us at 323-375-0950 for more information.
