About the clinic

Therapy that meets you where you are.

Fifteen therapists. One shared philosophy: warm, evidence-based, unhurried care.

Serenity Wellness Center opened in Los Angeles in 2018 because we wanted a different kind of practice — one where every clinician is genuinely curious about the person in front of them, where the waiting room smells like cedar and not antiseptic, and where the next available appointment is measured in days, not months.

Our team brings depth across anxiety, trauma, depression, couples and family work, ADHD, eating disorders, and grief — and we share notes (with your consent) so the care you receive is genuinely coordinated. We work in CBT, EMDR, DBT, and family systems frameworks, and we tailor every plan to the person, not the protocol.

Most importantly, we believe therapy should feel like a conversation, not a transaction. We hope you'll feel that the moment you walk in.

What to expect on your first visit

  • A 50-minute conversation — no forms shoved at you the moment you sit down.
  • Time to share what brings you in, at your own pace.
  • A frank discussion of fit — and a referral if we're not the right match.
  • Direct insurance billing handled before you leave the room.

We handle the paperwork.

We verify your benefits before the first session and bill your plan directly, so you usually pay only your copay or whatever is left on your deductible.

  • Cigna
  • UnitedHealthcare
  • Kaiser Permanente
  • Humana
  • Medicare
  • Medicaid

Other ways to pay

  • Superbills for out-of-network plans. If we're not contracted with your plan, we'll provide an itemized superbill with CPT and diagnosis codes so you can claim reimbursement.
  • HSA / FSA accepted. Health Savings and Flexible Spending Account cards are welcome and processed at booking.
  • Sliding scale. A limited number of reduced-rate spots are reserved each week — please ask confidentially.
