Hidden Hills is one of the most private enclaves in the greater Los Angeles area, a small, gated equestrian community where families have chosen to live specifically because they value discretion, space, and a quieter way of life. Ranch properties, horse trails, and the slower rhythm of a close-knit community define daily life here. Yet even in a setting this intentionally removed from the noise, families face the same pressures that affect families everywhere: children struggling with anxiety, teenagers navigating social dynamics and school stress, parents managing the weight of adult concerns they may not feel comfortable discussing in a community where everyone knows everyone. For Hidden Hills families, finding a therapist who understands that need for privacy is often the first and most important step.
I am Julie Klamon, a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 20 years of experience working with children, teens, adults, and families. My office is located in Agoura Hills, just about 10 minutes from Hidden Hills via Las Virgenes Road, an easy, low-traffic drive with no freeway required. Hidden Hills families share the Las Virgenes Unified School District with neighboring Calabasas, sending children to Agoura Hills High, A.C. Stelle Middle School, and Calabasas High School, among others. I understand the academic culture and social environment those schools create, and I bring that awareness to my work with students and parents from this corridor. My practice offers a confidential setting outside the community gates, where you can speak openly about what your family is navigating without concern about running into neighbors.
My approach is personalized and evidence-based, drawing on cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-informed methods. I work collaboratively with each client, and with parents, when appropriate, to set meaningful goals and build practical tools for lasting change. Whether you are seeking support for a child who is struggling, a teenager who has pulled away, or yourself as an adult managing stress or healing from a difficult experience, I am here to help.
Life in a community as small and tightly woven as Hidden Hills means that reputation and privacy carry particular weight. Seeking therapy can feel like a risk in that context. My office in Agoura Hills offers genuine geographic separation, not next door, not in the same shopping center, but in a professional building that serves a wide range of communities across the region. Many Hidden Hills families also appreciate that I offer the same quality of care for the equestrian, ranch-focused lifestyle that defines the community: the pressures on children involved in competitive riding, the family dynamics that come with managing property and livestock alongside the demands of school and work, and the particular kind of identity that comes from growing up in one of Southern California's most distinctive neighborhoods.
If you are looking for a therapist near Hidden Hills and would like to find out whether my approach is the right fit, please schedule a complimentary phone consultation. I look forward to hearing from you.
In a community where calm and privacy are core values, anxiety can sometimes go unaddressed precisely because it does not fit the expected picture. But children and teens in Hidden Hills face real academic pressures through the Las Virgenes Unified School District, and adults carry the weight of maintaining a household and lifestyle that demands significant energy and attention. Anxiety can look like a child who refuses to ride or participate in activities they once loved, a teenager who has become increasingly avoidant or irritable, or an adult lying awake at night unable to quiet a racing mind. I provide structured, evidence-based treatment for anxiety across all its forms, generalized worry, panic, social anxiety, and separation anxiety, using cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based approaches that build lasting relief rather than temporary coping.

Depression does not respect outward circumstances. Families in Hidden Hills, by any measure living comfortable, accomplished lives, can still find themselves or their children struggling with persistent sadness, low motivation, withdrawal, and the quiet sense that something is wrong. For teenagers, depression often surfaces as irritability, declining school engagement, or pulling away from family and friends. For adults, it can masquerade as burnout or dissatisfaction with a life that looks fine from the outside. I work with clients across all ages to identify the underlying contributors to depression and build a personalized path toward renewed energy, connection, and meaning.

Healing from sexual abuse demands a therapist who holds space with both clinical expertise and genuine compassion. I have extensive specialized training in supporting survivors of sexual trauma, including work with the UCLA Rape Treatment Center, and I provide a safe, confidential environment where clients can process difficult experiences at their own pace, without pressure or judgment. For Hidden Hills families where confidentiality is especially important, my Agoura Hills office offers a discreet location where you or your child can begin the work of recovery with a therapist who understands the complexity of these experiences.
If you or someone you know needs this support, please know that help is available. Visit my Sexual Abuse Therapy page to learn more about my approach.

Trauma can emerge from many sources, a single frightening event, a pattern of adverse experiences during childhood, loss, or exposure to violence. For children and teens in Hidden Hills, traumatic experiences may be shaped by the specific rhythms of community life: accidents involving horses or outdoor activities, the loss of a pet or animal that was a central part of family life, or experiences that happened quietly, away from public view. I use trauma-informed approaches to help clients of all ages process what happened, reduce intrusive symptoms, and gradually rebuild a sense of safety in their bodies and daily lives.

Children growing up in Hidden Hills inhabit a distinctive world, one defined by horses, open space, and a community that prizes independence and a hands-on relationship with the land. When a child in this environment begins showing signs of anxiety, emotional withdrawal, or behavioral changes, it can be easy to dismiss the signals as a phase. I work with children ages seven through ten using play therapy, creative expression, and age-appropriate cognitive techniques to help them name what they are feeling and develop the emotional vocabulary to work through it. Whether a child is struggling with transitions in the Las Virgenes schools, adjusting to changes at home, or carrying something they have not yet been able to say out loud, I offer a warm, patient space for that process.

Teenagers in Hidden Hills attend schools, Agoura High, A.C. Stelle Middle, Calabasas High, that carry real academic weight and active social environments. At the same time, growing up in one of the region's most private, prestigious communities creates its own pressures: a self-consciousness about privilege, the complexity of forming an identity when your surroundings are so defined, and the particular social dynamics of a small community where peers have often known each other since early childhood. I work with teens to address anxiety, depression, self-image, academic stress, and relationship challenges, in a space where they are not expected to perform or manage how they appear. My goal is to help them develop genuine self-awareness and resilience they can carry forward.

Raising children in Hidden Hills comes with genuine advantages, safety, space, community, but parenting is never without its challenges. Whether you are navigating a child's behavioral changes, working through a co-parenting situation after a separation, or simply trying to maintain strong communication with teenagers who are pulling away, I help parents develop practical, consistent strategies that align with their values and actually work at home. I take time to understand the specific dynamics of your family and your community, because generic advice rarely fits the specific texture of real family life.

Adults in Hidden Hills often carry substantial responsibilities, managing a property, raising a family, sustaining careers and relationships, while maintaining the outward composure that life in a tight-knit, high-achieving community can quietly demand. Beneath that composure, unresolved stress, anxiety, grief, or the effects of past trauma can accumulate in ways that affect health, relationships, and day-to-day functioning. Therapy offers a genuinely private space outside the community where you can speak honestly about what is weighing on you and begin to work through it in a structured, productive way.
My approach is collaborative and practical. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, and the aftermath of difficult experiences. If you are ready to invest in your mental health, I welcome the opportunity to work together.
