01 — OverviewLatino multigenerational family dynamics in a group format
South LA Latino family-systems group work for Paramount clients addresses specific clinical material — Latino multigenerational family dynamics operating in the far-south LA corridor, the specific patterns that form in three-generation households, and the accumulated cultural material clients develop across a lifetime.
The practice’s clinical work begins where standard talk therapy typically plateaus. The practice’s published thinking on familismo, generational immigration dynamics, and multigenerational Latino household configurations provides the theoretical container the group operates from.
Named cultural competency. Named cultural competency is a clinical specialty in which the framework, published content, and training of the practitioner explicitly reflect the cultural context of the population served — as distinct from a general ‘multicultural’ stance that may not shape how the clinical work is delivered.
The American Psychological Association describes group therapy as an effective format for a wide range of clinical concerns, and research from the National Institute of Mental Health supports psychotherapy as an evidence-based treatment for the underlying concerns members typically bring. The specific clinical value of a facilitator-led group is that shared experience does work individual therapy alone often cannot.
02 — ApproachThe sociocultural framework the groups operate from
The specific clinical container is coordinated group-plus-individual work under one supervisory structure. Sessions work with the specific patterns clients bring around three-generation household life, elder-parent care dynamics, family-of-origin expectations, and the cultural frameworks that shape how each pattern operates in real time.
For far-south Latino catchments, the practice’s separator from adjacent cultural offerings is coordinated care under a named clinical framework. Individual therapy runs alongside group work with client consent, and the framework operates from clinical thinking clients can review before intake — legibility that matters for a demographic often weighing whether the framework is built for their specific configuration.

Paramount’s position at the far-south end of the LA Latino corridor means the catchment is well-defined — established Latino households, dense multigenerational family configurations, and the specific clinical realities South LA carries. The framework is built for that specific community context.
Practically, sessions run weekly by secure video; the office at 6363 Wilshire, Suite 520 is available for in-person anchor sessions. The Latino family-systems framework the group operates from is accessible through video without loss of clinical specificity, and coordinated group-plus-individual care runs across both formats.
04 — Getting startedA first family-systems consultation
For South LA Latino Family-Systems Group in Paramount, the first 20-minute consultation clarifies both cultural fit and format access — South LA has a documented mental health access gap, and part of what the consultation determines is whether culturally-fluent group work at APG matches what you’re seeking. The facilitator on the call speaks to what the group actually holds: familismo dynamics, bicultural navigation, multigenerational household patterns, language-brokering as clinical material.
Culturally-fluent facilitation at APG is a named specialty rather than a disclaimer — the practice’s published clinical framework on Latino cultural dynamics is what the group operates from. Bilingual and bicultural competence is stated where it applies. The Black Men’s Healing Group and adjacent culturally-fluent groups also serve as reference points for the framework’s clinical seriousness. The APA page on choosing a psychologist is a useful reference for questions to ask any culturally-focused group.
Groups meet by secure telehealth as the primary format for South LA clients, with occasional in-person work at Mid-Wilshire (6363 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 520, Los Angeles 90048) where clinically indicated.

The consultation is free, no diagnosis is required to start, and you can pause or end the work at any point without penalty.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Group Therapy at Angeles Psychology Group for Paramount?
Group therapy at Angeles Psychology Group for Paramount includes culturally-fluent process groups — including the Black Men’s Healing Group facilitated by Gabrey Milner, MA — with an explicit clinical framework for racial trauma, cultural context, and the intersectional realities of the corridor. Groups are facilitator-led and HIPAA-aligned.
Who provides the care?
Care is provided by a multi-clinician team including licensed psychologists, licensed marriage and family therapists, and associate (pre-licensed) clinicians working under doctoral-level clinical supervision. The practice is founded and clinically directed by Dr. Neil Schierholz, PsyD (PSY25154), a licensed clinical psychologist.

All clinicians hold current California licensure or are registered associates working under supervision.
How does the group work with racial and cultural context?
APG’s care operates from a sociocultural, feminist framework that treats race, culture, and identity as central variables in the clinical work rather than a footnote. Groups are facilitator-led, HIPAA-aligned, and framed by the practice’s published content on racial trauma, code-switching, and intergenerational cultural transmission.
Is telehealth available for clients in Paramount?
Yes. Sessions are available in person at our Mid-Wilshire office (6363 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 520, Los Angeles, CA 90048) or by secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth across California.
