Lia Khalili
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP)
At Bright Start Bright Future, I specialize in providing therapy services for children and adolescents, supporting them through the unique challenges they face during their formative years. With over fifteen years of experience in child and youth psychotherapy, I'm dedicated to helping young individuals overcome obstacles and build the skills they need for a brighter future.
Child Therapy / Counselling for Children:
Every child is unique, and their strengths and needs are different. With my extensive experience in child psychotherapy, I can accompany you to understand your child and enter his/her world. By appreciating the impact of experiences in children’s early years, I help children overcome challenges and develop new skills to be equipped for making a brighter future. Play-based methods readily put children at ease, resulting in greater cooperation, which supports them in meeting treatment goals. I have the skills to assess your child from different perspectives to better determine how best to support them.
Youth Therapy:
In youth therapy sessions, I work collaboratively with teenagers to address a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, family conflict, social isolation, trauma, and more. My approach is tailored to meet the specific needs and goals of each individual, empowering them to take control of their lives and navigate challenges with confidence.
My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where young individuals can explore their thoughts and emotions, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and build strong, positive relationships.
Whether your child is struggling with academic stress, peer pressure, family conflict, or mental health issues, I'm here to provide the support and guidance they need to thrive. Contact me today to learn more about how I can help your child or teenager navigate the challenges of growing up with confidence and resilience.

Rising Calm Center
Professional Christian Counsellor, MS, CMHC, CLC
Raising a loving, united family today means facing pressures no generation has ever seen. The constant pace, screens, and stress leave many parents—and their kids—exhausted and disconnected. What should be years of joy and discovery can become seasons of anxiety, defiance, or quiet withdrawal. You might see your child losing motivation, melting down over small things, struggling in school, or shutting you out completely. It’s hard to know when to step in or what to say—and even harder to watch them hurt.
At Rising Calm Center, we come alongside both parents and kids to restore understanding, structure, and peace in the home. Our Christian counselors create a warm, judgment-free space where young people can express emotions, build healthy coping skills, and grow in confidence—rooted in who God created them to be.
We even offer same-week appointments, in-person and virtual sessions, and a sliding fee scale that works with any insurance or budget—so care is flexible and accessible when you need it most.
We use developmentally attuned, evidence-based approaches—CBT, DBT skills training, play and art therapy, family systems work, and somatic calming tools—woven together with faith-based encouragement and practical family coaching.
Together, we help your child:
• Understand and manage big emotions
• Reduce anxiety, irritability, and impulsivity
• Strengthen focus, responsibility, and resilience
• Heal from trauma, bullying, or self-esteem wounds
• Improve communication and rebuild trust at home
Whether your child is battling school stress, peer pressure, family conflict, or identity challenges, we help them—and you—find peace, purpose, and lasting growth.
You don’t have to parent through the storm alone. Hope and healing can begin here.

Stuart Hellebrand, M.S., C.Ht.
Hypnotherapist
I began a 32 year career with Los Angeles County in 1970. During the entirety of my career I worked in residential and community based treatment programs providing treatment services to youth ages 13-18. My responsibilities ranged from having counseling and supervision responsibility for a caseload of twenty-four 15-18 year old minors, to having administrative responsibility for a 130 bed residential treatment program. In between these vastly different areas of responsibility, I served as a consultant to 24 residential treatment programs providing treatment services to roughly 2,100 adolescents. Despite that I have been retired from LA County for 23 years, I still work with 10-18 year old youth on a selective basis.
