Psychotherapy & Counseling

At the UCLA Psychology Clinic, we provide individualized, scientifically supported therapy. Our clients’ concerns commonly include, but are not limited to: anxiety, depression, relationship and family problems, school problems, parenting difficulties, divorce and separation adjustment, career and personal decisions, childhood abuse, bereavement, and life transitions.

We provide the following psychotherapy and counseling services:

  • Adult Individual Therapy
    One-on-one therapy with clients of all ages to help resolve life concerns, treat mental health conditions, and improve quality of life. Following the initial intake appointment, your clinician will suggest a therapy approach that is matched to your treatment goals and based on the best available research on therapy effectiveness.  Our treatment approaches include cognitive-behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, time-limited dynamic therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, interpersonal therapy, exposure and other behavioral therapies, and motivational interviewing.
  • Child and Adolescent Therapy
    Therapy aimed at helping children and their parents resolve conflicts, improve school performance, reduce depression and anxiety, and build better friendships. Therapy may involve meeting as a family, or individual meetings with parents and/or children. All child therapy is based on an evidence-based practices demonstrated to be effective for helping children and families. 

See www.effectivechildtherapy.com for more information about evidence-based treatments for children and families.

  • Parent Counseling
    Counseling for parents to learn valuable parenting and communication skills for use with their children.
  • Couples Therapy
    Therapy aimed at helping couples resolve conflicts, learn effective communication skills, and develop fulfilling relationships.
  • Group Therapy for Adults and Children
    Group-based treatments that can be a useful supplement to therapy received in our Clinic or elsewhere. We offer a Dialectical Behavior Therapy group for adults with difficulties in their emotions or relationships and a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Group for adults with depression and anxiety. We also offer a social skills Friendship Training group for children in elementary and middle school. 

The first step in the process is to call us to complete a brief screening and set up an initial intake meeting. Clients needs are assessed during an initial intake meeting to match clients to counselors with specialized skills. We do not provide crisis or walk-in services.

Right To A Good Faith Estimate

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. 

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
