Patients say: “He is a phenomenal therapist. Rula made it easy to choose a therapist, with everyone listing their specialties and statements. I felt like he was a good choice for me and what I'm going through based on his bio and his approach. During our intake appointment, I knew that he was who I wanted as a therapist because I felt comfortable with him. I liked his approach on how he does therapy and how he was open to feedback as well, so he could tailor our sessions to meet my needs. As an avoidant, I need someone who can call me out on my bluff and get me to talk about uncomfortable things, and he does just that, but in a kind, gentle way. I feel safe enough to express emotions to him, cry, and work through what I'm going through. He is a great therapist that provides a safe environment. I've already been able to work on my issues with him and am seeing improvement in my life.”

Common FAQs

How to find the right therapist in Burbank, CA

When choosing a therapist in Burbank, CA, it's best to reflect on what you’re looking for and ask yourself which of the following criteria are most important to you:

Do they accept your insurance?
Do you need a therapist who specializes in a specific mental health concern such as depression, anxiety, or trauma?
Are you looking for someone to work with you individually? Or are you looking for someone to support you as a couple or family?
Would you be more comfortable partnering with a therapist of a certain race, gender expression, sexual orientation, religious, or cultural background?

Can I use my insurance?

Yes! Therapists on the Rula platform are in-network with most major insurance plans. Rula patients typically pay $15 per session, although your individual cost may vary based on your insurance benefits and deductible. We’ll work with your insurance to confirm your estimated per-session cost before your first appointment.

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

There’s no right or wrong reason to start therapy. Whether you’re seeking help navigating a life transition or managing symptoms of anxiety or depression, therapy is an effective treatment for many types of concerns – all you need is an open mind and a general sense of what you’d like to explore with a therapist.

If you don’t feel like your first choice was a match, don’t worry – we’ll help you switch to a different therapist in our network.

How do I know if I need therapy or psychiatry?

If you’re experiencing severe symptoms that interfere with your daily functioning, you may want to consider starting with a psychiatric provider who can assess your needs and prescribe medication if deemed necessary. If your symptoms are mild or moderate, therapy may be a better starting point. No matter where you begin your journey – your provider will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that’s based on your individual needs and concerns. Still unsure?
