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.

Dr. Patrick McGrath
Psychologist, O.C., C. Psychologist
Growing up comes with a unique set of emotional, social, and academic pressures, and when children or teens struggle, it impacts the entire family system. Whether your child is navigating overwhelming anxiety, behavioral challenges, big life transitions, or difficulties with self-esteem, I provide a safe, engaging, and non-judgmental space where they can feel truly heard. Working collaboratively with both youth and their families, we use evidence-based cognitive behavioural strategies to build emotional resilience, strengthen coping tools, and foster healthier communication so everyone can thrive.
