Is there a place in Los Angeles where I can find an in-person mental health support group on the West Side?
I used to attend an online mental health support group. For many years they were in person, which felt more safe. Then during the pandemic they went online, as did everything else. I unwillingly went along tho I didn't really trust it. When the pandemic ended, none of the mental health support groups went back in person. Not one.
I'm one of those people who doesn't trust anything digital for personal information. I am IT and Iove tech a lot but anything digital for mental health is just a bad idea privacy-wise. Anything can be hacked, even if sometimes social engineering is a requirement for part of the attack, if you get a skilled enough threat actor. Yes, even an iPhone for those of you Apple users who pride yourselves on being "unhackable" because iPhones get hacked. And what's more relevant is its also been shown that zoom and other online video conference softwares are also hackable and while it requires skills to do it I only trust in person. I literally can't make myself use zoom for anything mental health related.
Can someone point me to a preferably weekly mental health support group on the Westside? You know, Santa Monica, WeHo, Culver City, Westwood, etc. that EXCLUSIVELY meets in person? If its online in any way I don't want it. I don't even want partially online. If its between a place with some cellular reception and another with no cellular reception, then the place with none wins.
EDIT: i am talking about support groups, not one on one therapy. I can find in-person therapists. A support group is a form of therapy but a support group and a therapist ARE NOT the same thing.
