Who we work
best with.

Mellow works best with high-functioning adults in Venice who are building creative, ambitious, and full lives, but may be carrying anxiety, trauma, relationship stress, or self-doubt beneath the surface.

Our clients are often artists, entrepreneurs, professionals, and people doing meaningful work who want space to slow down, understand their patterns, and be more honest about what is no longer serving them.

They are looking for practical support, deeper insight, and meaningful change in how they relate to themselves, their work, and the people closest to them.

Frequently asked questions.

Do you offer both in-person and virtual therapy?

Yes, we offer both. Our office is located on Washington Boulevard, bordering Culver City, Venice, Playa Vista and Marina del Rey in Los Angeles. We offer virtul therapy via Zoom throughout California.

Is what I say confidential?

Yes, with a few legal exceptions. If you are at risk of seriously harming yourself or someone else, or if we learn of abuse or neglect of a child, elder, or dependent adult, California law requires us to act. We will always tell you if we have to break confidentiality.

How many therapy sessions will I need?

Everyone’s timeline is different, but many people begin noticing positive changes within the first few months of consistent weekly therapy. Deeper or longer standing patterns may take more time. Your therapist will check in with you along the way and shape the work around your goals.

What happens on the consult call?

The consultation is a brief phone call to learn what brings you in, answer your questions, and see whether Mellow feels like the right fit. We will also talk through therapist availability, scheduling, rates, and next steps.
