Therapist Near Malibu, CA - Counseling for Individuals and Families
Julie Klamon, LMFT - Providing Therapy Services Near Malibu, CA
When something feels off, finding a therapist who respects privacy can matter just as much as finding someone with the right credentials.
As a licensed marriage and family therapist with more than two decades of experience, I offer a private, confidential setting where you can work through the concerns that are affecting you most. My office in Agoura Hills is about 25 minutes from Malibu via Las Virgenes Road and Malibu Canyon Road, a straightforward drive that avoids freeway traffic entirely. I also offer virtual sessions to anyone in California who prefers to meet from home.
My areas of focus include:
- Anxiety and stress management
- Depression and mood concerns
- Trauma recovery, including wildfire-related trauma
- Counseling for sexual abuse and assault survivors
- Child and teen therapy
- Family conflict and co-parenting support
- Therapy for seniors and older adults
I take discretion seriously. Everything discussed in session stays in session. There is no waiting room small talk and no chance of running into someone you know in my Agoura Hills office, which is close enough for an easy commute.
If you are looking for a therapist near Malibu and want to find out whether my approach is the right fit, please schedule a free phone consultation. I look forward to hearing from you.
Therapy Services for Malibu Residents
Anxiety Therapy Near Malibu
Living in Malibu can mean constant low-level tension that is hard to name. Wildfire season brings dread. PCH traffic turns a simple errand into a source of stress. If worry has become your default setting, anxiety therapy can help you recognize what is driving it and give you practical ways to calm your nervous system and think more clearly.

Depression Therapy
Depression does not care how beautiful the view is. Some of my clients describe a particular frustration: feeling low while surrounded by what others would consider paradise. That gap between how life looks and how it actually feels can make depression harder to talk about. In therapy, we cut through the surface and get to what is really going on so you can start to feel like yourself again.

Trauma Therapy
Many residents know wildfire trauma firsthand. The Woolsey Fire in 2018 displaced thousands and destroyed hundreds of homes, and the threat has not gone away. Trauma can also come from accidents, loss, violence, or experiences that happened years ago but still affect you today. I have over 20 years of experience helping people process what happened and move forward without being controlled by the past.

Sexual Abuse Therapy
Recovering from sexual abuse takes courage, and it requires a therapist with real experience in this area. I spent over 10 years at a Los Angeles agency supporting children recovering from sexual trauma, and I am a certified counselor through the UCLA Rape Treatment Center. For those who need this kind of specialized support, my office provides a discreet, confidential location where you can begin the work of healing at your own pace.

Family Therapy
The stress of rebuilding after natural disasters can strain the relationships inside your home. Family therapy gives each member a chance to be heard and helps everyone develop better ways to communicate, resolve conflict, and support one another through difficult times.

Co-Parenting Therapy
Separation and divorce are difficult under any circumstances. I work with adults who are committed to keeping their children's wellbeing at the center, even when the relationship between the parents has changed. Together, we build practical communication strategies that reduce conflict and create stability for your kids.

Therapy for All Ages
Some children have faced experiences that most kids do not have to think about. Wildfire evacuations and rebuilding after loss can affect a child's sense of safety. I work with children ages 8 and up, using age-appropriate approaches to help them express what they are feeling and develop the confidence to handle difficult situations.

Many teens deal with a mix of pressures, from social media comparison to academic expectations. I work with teenagers to address anxiety, depression, identity questions, and relationship difficulties in a space where they can speak freely without judgment.

Many adults carry a lot beneath the surface. Demanding careers and the lasting effects of wildfire trauma can take a toll over time. In therapy, I provide a confidential space to talk through what is really going on and develop strategies that work in your actual life, not just in theory.
Whether you are dealing with anxiety, recovering from a painful experience, going through a divorce, or feeling stuck in ways you cannot quite explain, I bring over 20 years of experience to our work together. As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I also help adults address issues in their closest relationships so the patterns that are causing pain can start to shift.
Many longtime residents are now facing the realities of aging: the loss of a spouse, changes in health, retirement from careers that defined them, and a growing sense of isolation. Therapy gives older adults a place to process these changes honestly and with someone who listens without rushing them. Virtual sessions are especially convenient for seniors who prefer not to drive.
