David Strah, Psychotherapy provides individual, couples, and LGBTQIA+-affirming therapy; anxiety, depression, and trauma treatment; and telehealth tailored to Mid-City’s schedules. We coordinate with nearby primary care and psychiatry at Saint John’s and UCLA, offer lunchtime and early-evening slots, and discreet, ADA-compliant access.
Climate considerations: we factor heat waves, coastal marine layer, and wildfire smoke advisories into care plans—flexible telehealth on poor air-quality days, quiet rooms with air purification, and crisis planning for power or transit disruptions. We follow HIPAA, L.A. County DMH guidance, and Santa Monica business, ADA, and privacy ordinances.
Adjacent neighborhoods we serve include Downtown Santa Monica, Pico District, and North of Wilshire—offering bilingual referrals, school-year scheduling for families, and coordination with local schools and youth programs.
