Ann Gerstenfeld, MA, MFT, my wife, has been a psychotherapist for over 20 years. For many years, as the Director of Life Management Center, Ann trained numerous interns as part of their accumulating experience hours in order to qualify to be licensed in the state of California as a Marriage and Family Therapist. That is the license Ann holds.

   Ann maintains her private practice in Encino, California. When I am involved in particularly difficult estate planning or mediation issues involving the family structure or having an origin in emotional responses to the problems involved, with the client's consent, I consult with Ann to obtain her input as to how best to solve the problem by taking into account the psychological ramifications of the process. I will also refer the client to Ann if I believe that counseling sessions can be helpful to unlock rigid attitudes.

If you wish to make an appointment with Ann at her office in Encino, or for a phone session, please call her at (818) 788-1292.
