Is Pre-Marital Counseling Right for Us? Signs You Should Consider It

“Is pre-marital counseling right for us?” It’s a question many engaged couples ask themselves as they prepare for marriage. While planning a wedding is exciting, planning for the marriage itself is even more important. Pre-marital counseling gives couples the opportunity to strengthen their foundation, address potential challenges, and build healthy habits that will support them for years to come. Sometimes, there is a fear that pre-marital counseling will uncover “reasons not to get married”. In reality, addressing potential hurdles before marriage can help to reduce their impact, or eliminate them altogether. Yes, there are some aspects of entering into a marriage that a couple can’t really compromise on. But avoiding those conversations won’t make those

How to Communicate Effectively in Your Relationship: Tips for Healthy Dialogue

How to communicate effectively in your relationship is one of the most important skills you and your partner can develop. Clear communication builds trust, deepens emotional intimacy, and helps you work through conflict without damaging your connection.

Why ADHD Can Be Misdiagnosed in Girls and How to Spot the Signs

Trying to determine why ADHD can be misdiagnosed in girls is a question that’s getting more attention in recent years. For decades, ADHD was thought of as a “boys’ disorder,” often associated with hyperactivity and disruptive behavior. But many girls go unnoticed or misdiagnosed because their symptoms present differently. The result? Countless girls grow up without the support they need—sometimes not getting diagnosed until adulthood. Many adults we see for ADHD therapy in Woodland Hills are recently diagnosed.

Is It Me or the Relationship? Understanding Relationship Anxiety in Adulthood

Is it me or the relationship? If you’ve ever asked yourself this question, you’re not alone. Many adults experience relationship anxiety—uncertainty, fear, or self-doubt about their romantic connection. But how do you know if your anxiety is about you (internal fears, past wounds, insecurities) or if it’s about the relationship itself (communication breakdown, incompatibility, unmet needs)? As an anxiety counselor in Woodland Hills, I know that understanding the difference is key to finding clarity and peace.

What OCD Really Is: Beyond Cleanliness and Control

What OCD really is often gets lost in translation. While many people casually associate OCD with neatness or being “a little controlling”, the truth is far more serious—and far more misunderstood. As an OCD Counselor in Woodland Hills, I know that Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is nothing to joke about or make light of. For those who live with OCD, it’s not about loving a clean house, or enjoying having an organized closet. OCD behaviors don’t make you happy or give you satisfaction. OCD involves battling intrusive thoughts and anxiety that feel impossible to ignore.

Breaking the Stigma of ADHD: Myths vs. Facts

If you are an adult who has ADHD (whether diagnosed in childhood or recently), you may find yourself up against stereotypes and stigmas that don’t serve you. Breaking the stigma of ADHD starts with understanding the facts—and letting go of outdated, inaccurate beliefs. As an ADHD counselor in Woodland Hills, I know that ADHD is one of the most misunderstood mental health conditions. Despite growing awareness, many people still associate ADHD with laziness, poor parenting, or childhood misbehavior. The reality? ADHD is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects people of all ages, and it’s far more complex than the stereotypes suggest.

The Role of Self-Care in a Healthy Relationship: Why Prioritizing Yourself Benefits Your Partner

The role of self-care in a healthy relationship is often underestimated. Many people believe that putting their partner first—always being available, compromising their own needs, or avoiding conflict—makes a relationship stronger. But the truth is, when you neglect your own well-being, your relationship often suffers too. Time on your own can refill your cup, and time apart gives you both something new to talk about, as well as giving space to miss one another and look forward to reconnecting. Over the years, this can help you feel fresh and keep the spark alive. Taking care of yourself is not selfish—it’s essential for long-term love and connection.

What Depression Really Looks Like in Adults: Signs, Struggles, and Paths to Healing

More people struggle with depression than are willing to admit it. Because of stigmas and stereotypes surrounding depression, it can be hard to spot in yourself or others. We assume that it will be obvious, that there will be constant sadness and hiding from the world. But depression doesn’t always look like staying in a dark room under your blankets. Remember Kate Spade, Robin Williams, and Anthony Bourdain!

Many people who live with depression are married, have kids, and go to work. But none of those come easily when you are grappling with untreated depression. Depression can lead to physical and mental exhaustion and stagnation; those who are depressed can struggle to complete day to day tasks, remember important events, and/or pursue goals and dreams, even those they deeply desire.

What Is Neuropsychological Testing and Do I (or My Child) Need It?

Neuropsychological testing is one of the most powerful tools for understanding how the brain affects thinking, learning, behavior, and emotions. Whether you’re a parent concerned about your child’s school performance or an adult struggling with memory or focus, neuropsych testing can offer clarity, direction, and peace of mind. Neuropsychological testing has grown in prevalence over the past twenty or so years; if you’re an adult who is seeking or has obtained a later-life diagnosis, such as ADHD, you may have benefited from testing that simply wasn’t common before the early 2000s. While there is no way to go back in time and obtain this information, you can make the most of your resources now to ensure that you and/or your child have the best supports in place for your or their unique neuropsychological profile.
