We are a team of passionate and dedicated clinicians providing evidence-based treatments to teens, adults, couples, and families.
With locations in Beverly Hills, New York City, and San Diego, we utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to help our clients understand themselves better and achieve the lives they aspire to live.
Our comprehensive services are designed to address personality disorders, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma, OCD, emotion dysregulation issues, and substance abuse.
Our mission is to provide personalized, effective, and compassionate mental health care. We are committed to helping our clients navigate life’s challenges by equipping them with the tools and strategies they need to thrive.
At BPS, we believe…it depends.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to treatment. We believe in an evidence-based, idiographic, and collaborative approach to our clients’ unique experiences. We also strive to implement anti-racist, anti-oppressive, and affirming practices to improve diversity, inclusion, and the needs of our diverse clients.
We believe in the power of evidence-based treatments and strive to create a supportive and understanding environment where every client feels valued and heard.
