Manuel Leiva, LMFT

Psychotherapist
CA
Working with me doesn't feel like traditional therapy. My sessions are relaxed and free of judgement because I know first hand how hard it is to open up and ask for help. For over 15 years I've worked with young adults, adults and families to get through hard transitions and improve their symptoms. I teach you evidence based skills (aka stuff that has been proven by research to work) and how to use them in daily life. I'm here to motivate, encourage and challenge you. I'm a San Fernando Valley native. Outside the office I enjoy a good bbq, spending time with my family and hanging out with friends.

More information on payments and coverage

After scheduling your appointment through Zocdoc, you will receive a follow-up email from Tava with instructions to complete the necessary registration in our patient portal, including insurance and payment details. Placing a credit card on file is required to process insurance billing and any applicable deductible-related charges. Please complete your registration within 24 hours to ensure a smooth check-in and avoid delays in accessing care. If registration is not completed in time, we may not be able to verify your insurance coverage, which could result in unexpected out-of-pocket costs for your visit. Per our office policies, a fee may be charged for missed appointments or late cancellations.
