You will benefit from Hypnotherapy if you're able to select a specific issue or concern you would like to change about your current circumstances, and have some capacity to visualize how you imagine your life will look once you've successfully achieved this goal. There are many different areas for which hypnotherapy can be quite successful in helping bring about the desired changes. Some of the more common issues treated with hypnotherapy include increasing self-esteem and self-confidence, eliminating fears, anxieties, and phobias, overcoming inertia, and psychological blocks of all kinds that keep you from achieving your goals.

I will listen carefully to evaluate your problems and distress, your values and strengths. Then collaborate with and support you in psychotherapy. Besides decreasing distress and supporting you through difficult times, psychotherapy can help you to discover and understand how some automatic reactions of your mind, that you may not have been aware of, work. These can lead to problematic repetitive patterns, difficult or disrupted relationships, not working to your potential, and psychiatric symptoms. Changing these can improve your coping and interpersonal skills, allow you more freedom of choice and action, and to be more effective

I see my patients first and foremost in a humanistic way as people, not simply as patients or their diagnoses. As such, I offer patients comprehensive treatment, not just from a neurobiological perspective, but also a from a humanistic one. I approach my patients with compassion, respect and a commitment to confidentiality. Some of the biggest obstacles to attainting self-awareness and self-acceptance are deeply buried feelings of guilt and shame. Working with a psychotherapist you trust, who is curious, empathic and understanding can help you expand your capacity for self-curiosity, self-awareness and self-acceptance, which in turn can help you expand your capacity to:
•examine, understand & change problematic patterns in your life;
•make choices freely & actively, instead of reactively;
•ultimately lead a more thoughtful, authentic & fulfilling life.

I treat adult patients for any kind of psychiatric or mental health issue. I also invite patients who may not have any particular disorder or condition who are interested in personal growth and development. I use three approaches: 1) psychotherapy only, brief or long term; 2) a combination of psychotherapy and psychopharmacology; and 3) medication management without psychotherapy. The latter is especially applicable if you are already in psychotherapy with another therapist. Lastly, I provide psychiatric and substance abuse evaluations whether requested by a patient, a court, or by a licensing institution.

About Psychiatrists, meds and Psychiatric Nurses.
A Psychiatrist in California is a qualified medical doctor who specializes in treating mental health issues and diagnosable disorders.
California Psychiatrists differ from other mental health professionals in that they may prescribe medication as well as practice psychotherapy in treatment. Sometimes, Psychiatrists form part of a clinical team in which they will diagnose and prescribe, while psychologists or therapists provide the client's psychotherapy.
As part of a clinical assessment, Psychiatrists may conduct physical examinations, take blood tests, and order and interpret lab tests and brain image scans, such as CT scans, CAT Scans, and MRIs.
The field of psychiatry in California has many sub-specialties, including pediatric psychiatry. Those who work with the elderly are called geriatric psychiatrists.
Other related sub-specialties include cognition psychiatry, addiction psychiatry, psychosomatic, forensic, reproductive medicine specialties, psychopharmacology , psychiatric genetics, neuroimaging, and clinical neurophysiology.
Psychiatric nurse practitioners in California, or mental health nurse practitioners, generally have an MS degree in nursing (MSN) and a number of years of training to become certified. Psychiatric nurse practitioners are able to assess and diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication. California Psychiatric nurse practitioners also have training that enables them to include psychotherapy with treatment.
