Entertainment Industry

Specialty

Historically, portrayals of mental health and therapy in television and film have not always been accurately represented. It is incredibly important, for the purpose of destigmatizing mental health concerns and therapy, that scripts are written in a way that highlights the benefit and positive impact of therapy, in addition to what the process actually looks like as media can be significantly influential in this way. It is also imperative that characters who are struggling with a mental health condition have character arcs and behaviors that are realistic. 

We work with writers, producers, and directors on supporting their vision come to life by providing psychoeducation, giving feedback on material in various stages of development and production, and consulting on character development and backstory.

Meet the team

Westside Psych, a Group Psychology Practice, was co-founded in 2018 by a team of psychologists who saw a need for comprehensive and high-quality mental health care. We have since expanded our practice to include other mental health professionals and provide training and supervision to pre-licensed therapists. Each of our therapists have unique areas of specialization and expertise, which allows us to collaborate and provide a range of care to individuals, couples, families, and organizations.
