Find A Psychologist in Gardena, CA.

As a psychologist the cornerstone of my work with clients involves assessment and evaluation. I begin every client interaction with a thorough assessment of the individual. I formulate my understanding of the client, including their presenting problem, and share this with the client. I invite and encourage active collaboration from the client to devise treatment goals that we can work to achieve in therapy. Therapy to me entails an active and engaged process exploration to gain insights that were otherwise inaccessible to the client.

I am a Ph.D. psychologist. My approach to helping people is to use short-term evidenced-based therapeutic techniques for your particular disorder, problem, or issue.

To strengthen my role as the Executive Director of the La Vie Counseling Center I received advanced training in psychodynamic psychotherapy from the Southern California Psychoanalytic Institute because of my interest in getting to the roots of the problems that drive people to therapy. I have studied and practiced an in-depth approach to psychotherapy for over 20 years and have written books that have sold over a million copies and been translated into several languages. My desire is to not only help people feel better, but help them get better and live that way daily. I love going to work each day, because helping people live healthier lives makes me a better person in the process.

A psychologist has the most extensive training in psychology of all the mental health professions. Some people with a Ph.D. are licensed as Marriage and Family Therapists (and I have that license as well) or as Social Workers, not psychologists.

Psychologists work with the full range of psychological and emotional issues, without limitation, unlike MFTs and LCSWs who have a more limited scope of practice. WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU: I’m well trained to help you with whatever issues bring you to me.
