One Heart Counseling Center 2100 North Sepulveda Boulevard, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266

"One Heart Counseling Center is a wonderful resource for anyone looking for impactful therapy. I work in a field that works with children and teens and One Heart Counseling Center is the number one place we refer to for anyone seeking therapy. Their approach to therapy is unique -- they help clients actually use their human emotional system instead of ignoring or suppressing it. They also incorporate art therapy into their sessions. Art therapy is an amazing and effective tool because it allows people to express themselves and heal in a way that goes beyond using just words. While this approach is great for everyone, I think it is wonderful for children because often times children have trouble expressing themselves in traditional "talk therapy." I have met all of the wonderful therapists at One Heart Counseling Center. My main point of contact and the person I have interacted with the most is Adrian Hall. Adrian is fantastic! I wish I could have seen her as my therapist when I was younger! Adrian is approachable, knowledgeable and caring. I am so grateful that One Heart Counseling exists! I will continue to refer to them because their approach to therapy is extremely effective."

"I am extremely fortunate to have Anna Pirkl of One Heart Counseling Center as a colleague. Her patience and openness undoubtedly guide her practice, which is to say nothing of her fundamental knowledge of human behavior within both the academic and pragmatic milieu. There are many talented therapists who may have a strong aptitude in any one of these areas, but few can be counted who have Anna’s depth of competency across all of them. I have come to know that I can rely on the wisdom of her input, which she has always graciously taken the time to grant me on the occasions when I have sought it out. My own practice has benefited greatly as a result."

"Anna Pirkl is my number one go-to therapist referral for adolescents and families. She and I have worked together for years and I trust her clinical skills absolutely. First, she is a compassionate and genuine human being who is invested in empowering people to become their best selves. Next, she is a highly-skilled clinician with varied experience ranging from working with juvenile hall detainees, sober living residents and now to working with a diverse population in private practice. I can't say enough about my trust in Anna as a clinician."

"One Heart Counseling Center is an important mainstay in Manhattan Beach. Offering counseling for children, teens and adults their "open hearted" approach and highly skilled therapists offer real help and guidance to our community. Making sense of our turbulent world and feeling heard and understood are critical for all of us in creating a happy life. Using Art therapy as an additional way of expressing feelings (no you do not have to be an artist) can be such a powerful and effective approach. It is one of the specialities offered at Open Heart. I personally have found Adrian to be a warm and caring professional and know the center has several highly qualified therapists offering varying approaches."

"I am sorry to say that I do not recommend One Heart Counseling Center. I was referred to One Heart Counseling Center (therapist Adrian), and thought my ex’s and my daughter would get help and support while going through a litigious divorce. Adrian was not available to see my Daughter and was given therapist Anna. This was supposed to be Short Term “Safe Harbor” therapy (approx 3 Months, weekly = 12 sessions). It has now been over a year and +40Sessions. Because of the ongoing litigious divorce, I am unable to address the serious issues I have had with One Heart Counseling Center and therapist Anna at this time. One thing I can say is that I believe a therapist should be honest, responsible, professional and should not help aid alienation. Knowing what I now know, I would not recommend One Heart Counseling Center and therapist Anna."
