About
A practice built around the people who walk through the door.
Pasadena Clinical Group is an outpatient psychotherapy practice serving older adults across Los Angeles County. We're licensed clinicians who chose this work because the people who do it well are not many — and because older adulthood is a stage that deserves more than the field often gives it.
Our mission
We do one thing well: therapy for older adults.
Most therapy training is built around the general adult — and most practices are built around the general adult. Older adulthood has its own shape: losses that stack up, bodies that change faster than the inside, the long quiet of a chair across the table that hasn't been used in two years. Care for this stage of life isn't a sub-specialty added to a general practice. It's the practice itself, here.
We work primarily with adults 60 and older. We use evidence-based methods — adapted carefully for older adulthood — to help with depression, grief, anxiety, life transitions, chronic illness, end-of-life concerns, and the long arc of family and partnership. We don't do medication management. We don't do emergencies. What we do, we try to do honestly and well.
What we believe
A few principles, worth saying out loud.
Older adults are not fragile.
You are a fully capable adult who happens to be at a different life stage. We won't talk down to you. We won't talk over you. We won't pretend you can't handle the real conversation.
Stigma is real. We don't add to it.
Many older adults grew up in a generation that didn't go to therapy. The fact that you're reading this is already a kind of courage. We honor that by making this as plain and unromantic a process as we can.
Family is part of the picture — when you say so.
Sometimes therapy helps most as a private thing. Sometimes adult children or a partner are part of the conversation. We follow your lead, every time.
Your time matters.
We start sessions on time, end on time, and don't waste the hour on intake formalities you've already completed. The work is what we're here for.
Language matters.
We see clients in eight languages: English, Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Hindi, Italian, Arabic, and Armenian. The first session is rarely the last hard thing you'll explain to a stranger. Doing it in your first language makes it lighter.
Cost shouldn't be the barrier.
We accept Medicare, most Medicare Advantage plans, and a wide list of commercial insurance carriers. When insurance and Medicare don't cover what you need, talk to us. We've found a way for most people who reach out.
A note about who we are
A practice, not a brand.
We're a real practice with real licensed clinicians who live in this part of Los Angeles, work in this part of Los Angeles, and have spent a long time learning how to be useful to people at this life stage. We're not a national tele-app, not a venture-backed wellness brand, and not a directory. The phone is answered by someone who works here. The first session is held by a clinician you'll keep working with, if you choose to come back.
If that sounds like the kind of practice you'd want to walk into, we'd be glad to hear from you.
