Tailored Mental Health Care
At Kincove, we specialize in individualized mental health care for adolescents and young adults in Brentwood, Santa Monica, Westwood, Beverly Hills, Bel Air, and virtually throughout California.
Every adolescent, young adult, and family comes to therapy with different experiences, relationships, strengths, and goals. Rather than following a predetermined approach, we take time to understand the whole person, what’s contributing to their challenges, and what type of support will be most helpful.
We believe effective therapy is grounded in a strong therapeutic relationship, individualized care, and a thoughtful balance of insight, practical strategies, and family involvement when appropriate.
Our Approach to Personalized Therapy
We thoughtfully integrate evidence-based and depth-oriented therapies to support both immediate concerns and long-term wellbeing. Our services include:
Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic therapy helps clients explore how past experiences and relationship patterns continue to shape the present, fostering greater self-awareness and more intentional choices.ACT, CBT, and DBT-Informed Strategies
Our therapists use research-backed techniques like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients manage anxiety, regulate emotions, build resilience, and respond more effectively to life's challenges.Family Systems
Young people develop within the context of their relationships. When appropriate, we work collaboratively with families to strengthen communication, improve understanding, and create healthier relationship dynamics.Neurobiologically-Informed Care
We incorporate an understanding of the brain body connection to support nervous system regulation, emotional flexibility, and sustained personal growth.Integrative Wellness & Whole-Person Care
Recognizing the link between physical and mental health, we incorporate guidance on sleep, movement, and nutrition into our care plans. This holistic approach supports overall wellbeing, supporting healthy mental and physical development.
At Kincove, we recognize the important role families can play in a young person's well-being. While we prioritize each client's autonomy, we also believe adolescents benefit from healthy, supportive relationships with their caregivers.
That's why treatment for clients under 18 includes a parent-only intake session, regular parent check-ins every 4–6 weeks (or more frequently as needed), and ongoing collaboration throughout care.
For young adults, family involvement is based on the client's preferences and only occurs with their consent.
