Speech Sounds
Help your child produce sounds clearly and confidently through play-based therapy techniques.
Westlake Village is where Therapy Clubhouse is based, and it is where our clinic opens on December 1, 2026. Until then, and afterward for families who prefer it, a licensed therapist comes to your home. We see children from birth to eighteen for speech therapy and occupational therapy only. The clinician who evaluates your child is the clinician who treats them. Call (805) 702-3427 for a free fifteen minute consultation with a licensed clinician. As of October 2026, there is no waiting list here for in-home or telehealth therapy. There is no obligation, and you get a reply within one business day. Two services, each with its own page. Read about pediatric speech therapy in Westlake Village or pediatric occupational therapy in Westlake Village. We also run sensory integration therapy and social skills groups here.

Our therapists blend proven clinical methods with play to make progress meaningful and sustainable.
You get practical home strategies, clear milestones, and a partner who supports your family at each step.

The county line can make it confusing to get therapy funded in Westlake Village. Westlake Village straddles the Los Angeles and Ventura county line. That line, not the city name and not your ZIP code, determines which school district serves your child and which Regional Center you apply to. The boundary can run between neighboring streets. Two families a block apart can be in different districts, different Regional Centers and different application processes for the same child with the same needs.
Your schools fall under Las Virgenes Unified School District, which also serves Agoura Hills, Calabasas and Hidden Hills. Regional Center assignment in Los Angeles County follows health district rather than city, so it needs confirming against your exact address. Use the state Department of Developmental Services lookup, or call us and we will walk through it with you.
Your schools fall under Conejo Valley Unified School District, which also serves Thousand Oaks and Newbury Park. Regional Center services here run through Tri-Counties Regional Center, which covers Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties. Tri-Counties is the Regional Center we work with. On the Ventura County side, children under three who qualify may get Early Start services through Tri-Counties. Tri-Counties has its own referral line.
Your county appears on your property tax record and your voter registration. If you are unsure, tell us your cross streets when you call and we will help you work it out. It is worth knowing before you start any application, whether that is a district assessment request or a Regional Center intake.
School districts still have a role. Under federal special education law, each public school district must locate, identify, and evaluate children with disabilities whose parents enroll them in private elementary and secondary schools in its area. A private evaluation is a separate choice, and you can make it at any time. The Regional Center question still applies, and still depends on which county you are in.
During business hours, we return calls within an hour. We learn what you have been noticing and check insurance, then set up a free call with Nita, Rachel or both, who tell you honestly whether an evaluation makes sense.
Handwriting happens at your kitchen table. Language happens at bedtime and in the car. We assess where your child actually struggles, and you get findings in plain language you can hand to a pediatrician or read aloud at a school meeting.
Goals written so you can tell whether they are being met, and coaching so progress continues between visits. On payment, you can use insurance through Village or pay privately with a superbill for possible out-of-network reimbursement. If your address is on the Ventura County side, Regional Center or Early Start funding through Tri-Counties may also apply. We will tell you honestly which fits your family.
Nita Anavim, M.S., CCC-SLP is a speech-language pathologist, CSUN trained, ASHA certified and licensed in California. Rachel Yashouafar, MA, OTR/L is an occupational therapist, USC trained, NBCOT certified, California licensed, with USC sensory integration training. Read their full bios. This is a two clinician practice. Your family is not passed between a rotating roster, and the person who assesses your child is the person who treats them. What we do not provide: applied behavior analysis, mental health counseling, psychological testing, or care for adults. We refer out rather than take an appointment we cannot serve well.
As of October 2026, families can start in-home or telehealth therapy without a wait. Call and we will tell you what is genuinely open this week.
We are targeting December 1, 2026. In-home visits and California telehealth are available now, and will continue after the clinic opens for families who prefer them.
It depends which side of the county line your address falls on. Tri-Counties Regional Center covers the Ventura County side and is the Regional Center we work with. On the Los Angeles County side, assignment follows health district and should be confirmed against your address before you apply. Call us and we will help you work it out. You can also read about Early Start through Tri-Counties.
You can use insurance through Village or pay privately with a superbill. For families on the Ventura County side, Regional Center funding through Tri-Counties may also apply if your child qualifies. We provide superbills you can submit for possible out of network reimbursement, and we will never claim to be in network with a plan when we are not.
Yes. See Thousand Oaks, Agoura Hills, Calabasas, Newbury Park and Oak Park.
Start with a free 15 minute consultation. No commitment, just clarity on whether your child would benefit and what the next step looks like.
Speech therapy and occupational therapy for children ages 0 to 18.
Some children need help learning to talk. Others need help with handwriting, coordination, or coping with noise and textures. Many need both. Therapy Clubhouse is led by Nita Anavim, M.S., CCC-SLP, and Rachel Yashouafar, MA, OTR/L, so a family who needs speech and occupational therapy can arrange both through one practice instead of managing two providers, two intake processes and two schedules.
The first step is a free 15-minute consultation with a licensed therapist. Call (805) 702-3427 or send a message.
Therapy Clubhouse offers pediatric speech therapy, occupational therapy, Early Intervention support, in-home therapy and telehealth to families from Ventura and Oxnard through the Conejo Valley and much of the San Fernando Valley to Santa Monica and Burbank, with our Westlake Village clinic opening December 1, 2026.

The consultation is free, lasts about 15 minutes, and carries no obligation. There is no waiting list. If you would rather talk now, call (805) 702-3427.
