HELLO, I’M Gaia Altshuler—

A LICENSED MARRIAGE AND FAMILY THERAPIST DEDICATED TO NURTURING HEALTHY, RESILIENT FAMILY SYSTEMS.

Based in Westlake Village, California, I specialize in supporting adolescents and their parents through one of life’s most dynamic and transformative stages: Adolescence. I earned my Master’s in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University and have spent my career walking alongside families as they navigate growth, change, and connection.

My experience spans community mental health—working with children and parents facing postpartum challenges, early developmental stages, and delays—to over five years serving as a school-based therapist in a middle school setting. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the complexity of each developmental milestone and the emotional intelligence adolescents bring to the table.

Above all, I’m continually inspired by the courage of young people and the devotion of the parents who love them. It would be an honor to support your family on this journey.
