Child & Family Therapy in Sherman Oaks
Sherman Oaks is our home. From our practice just off Ventura Boulevard, we care for children, teens, adults, couples, and whole families who live and grow across this close-knit corner of the San Fernando Valley.
Serving Sherman Oaks Families
Compassionate Care, Close to Sherman Oaks
The Child & Family Development Center is rooted in Sherman Oaks, and the families who walk through our doors are our neighbors. Some are raising young children in the tree-lined streets south of Ventura Boulevard. Others are navigating a teenager's busy season at Notre Dame High School, a career change, or the quiet strain of holding a household together. Wherever you are in that story, our clinicians meet you with curiosity and warmth, offering individual, couples, and family therapy built around the whole child and family.
Because we are based here, care fits naturally into the rhythm of local life. A parent can bring a child in after school, and a couple can meet before the evening commute picks up. Families can build therapy around the pace of the neighborhood rather than around a long drive. For younger children, our play based child therapy gives big feelings a language that feels natural and safe, while parents receive guidance they can carry home.
Every treatment plan we build is personalized and coordinated. No two families arrive with the same history, so no two courses of care look alike. If you would like to understand how we care for the whole child before you begin, we invite you to read about our whole-child, family-centered approach.
Sherman Oaks sits at the center of the communities we serve, and many of our clients also travel in from neighboring areas. If you are just over the hill or down the boulevard, you may find our care just as convenient from nearby Studio City.

Why Families Reach Out
What Brings Sherman Oaks Families In
Life in Sherman Oaks moves quickly. Between demanding careers along Ventura Boulevard and packed school and activity calendars, many parents arrive feeling stretched thin. Raising children in an expensive part of Los Angeles adds a quiet pressure that is hard to set down. Academic expectations at schools like Notre Dame High and the surrounding campuses can weigh heavily on teens. The anxiety that follows often shows up at home before it shows up anywhere else. Families come to us not because something is broken, but because they want a thoughtful place to understand what is happening beneath the surface.
Others are navigating the ordinary but tender passages of family life: a new baby, a separation, a move, a child who learns and relates differently. For children who need extra developmental support, our autism and social skills groups offer small, structured settings where kids can practice connection at their own pace. Whatever brings you in, our goal is the same: to help each member of the family feel understood and to build change that lasts.
