Life is already quite difficult without that added everyday stressors that we encounter along the way. It can make us feel alone, defeated, hopeless, scared, and worried about our futures and our loved ones. When someone feels this way, it's hard to reach out for support. Maybe it's because we don't want to feel like being a burden to others, or because we don't want people to know our personal struggles. In reality, our life struggles are much more commonly shared than we actually realize. Most of us just want to be content in life. You are not alone! I understand, and together we will get you where you want to be in life.

As a clinical psychologist, I work with clients towards meeting their personal goals and deepening their understanding of themselves. I have expertise in treating clients who are facing a particularly difficult time in their lives, including coping with health issues, changes in family dynamics, social challenges, grief, and navigating life transitions. As part of the Claremont community, I work frequently with college students as they manage increasing independence. I also have experience working with medical professionals on improving work life balance and stress management, having worked at Children's Hospital for several years.

I work with individuals who are dealing with various life issues that may include anxiety, depression, stress, relationship problems, self harm, trauma, insomnia, women's issues, men's issues, physical illness, academic problems, attention deficits and parenting skills. I also treat individuals who have serious mental illness such as psychotic and bipolar disorders. I work with individuals, couples and families.

I have expertise in a variety of treatments, and believe that as we are all individuals, therapy should be tailored to what works best for the individual. I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist and received my doctoral degree from Azusa Pacific University. My graduate degree placed an emphasis on Systemic Therapy, which means I have a great respect for the impact that cultural, spiritual, and generational factors can have on our lives, our sense of meaning and purpose, and our overall sense of well-being, and I take these things into consideration when engaging in therapy.

Dr. John E. Bradford is a Psychologist in California who has been practicing since 2002. Dr. Bradford has more than twenty years of experience working with adults with mental health issues ranging from anxiety, depression, personnel relationship issues, anger management, substances abuse, self-esteem, personality concerns, and forensic issues. Dr. Bradford offers a solution-focused approach emphasizing the role of "confidence" as a foundation of clinical change. He believes in combining elements of evidence based cognitive behavioral therapy, integrative medicine, and psychodynamic to mitigate mental health concerns.

Engaging in therapy can be rewarding albiet difficult work! This is why finding the right therapist is vital. Therapy is a collaborative process that grows out of a safe, caring relationship where you can explore your deepest concerns, as you move toward becoming the person you long to be. The process of therapy differs for everyone, as we all have our own needs, desires, and stories. I have deep respect for the uniqueness of each individual and find that people experience healing through increased self-understanding, experiencing safety and openness in therapy, and mobilizing supportive social networks.

I struggled immensly with anxiety and depression for many years. In my teens and twenties I was in and out of emergency rooms because of panic attacks. In 1997 I started studying mindfulness meditation with Jon Kabat-Zinn and everything changed from that point forward. Once I learned how to have better control over my thoughts and emotions, anxiety and depression became much easier to deal with. I became a therapist and mindfulness teacher to help others gain the same skills.

I am a psychologist specializing in behavioral interventions for anxiety, trauma, and depression. I obtained my PhD from UCLA in 2012 after working in the Anxiety Disorders Research Center. I then completed my clinical internship and a postdoctoral research fellowship at the National Center for PTSD in the VA Boston Healthcare system while a fellow at Harvard Medical School and the Boston University School of Medicine. In addition to my practice, I am currently an Associate Professor in the Psychology Department at the University of La Verne.

Life is ever-shifting and full of wild, unexpected changes. Unfortunately, your recent unplanned life event has also brought with it disappointment, pain, and shock- beyond what you ever could have imagined. Your daily rhythm in life is interrupted. You find yourself unable to process or cope with daily life. The past haunts you- sneaking up and triggering you when you least expect it. Suddenly it's difficult to sleep, you're irritable, avoidant, and living life with little joy or laughter. It's not easy to reach out for help, but you're at a place where you're ready to take that first step.

I work with those who feel stuck and want to grow. We will work together to prioritize and set goals based on your strengths and values. I believe everyone already has exactly what they need to thrive and will gladly join you in your journey of emotional, physical and spiritual healing. I know this can be scary and daunting but, you have taken the first step in looking for who is best to support you in this journey. I have over 30 years of experience working with individuals, couples and families restoring and healing broken relationships. If you’re interested in working together, please call or email me.

Hi! I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist specializing in trauma, anxiety disorders, and neurodiverse communities, though my training and experiences have made me comfortable working with a wide number of mental health needs. I am passionate about working alongside clients as they move towards living a life that is more authentic and fulfilled. Starting therapy can feel intimidating. I am so glad that you are taking this step in your mental health journey.

As you think, so you become ...Our busy minds are forever jumping to conclusions, manufacturing and interpreting signs that aren't there. (Arrian). My approach is one that helps you to calm your busy mind and create space to reconsider and recreate yourself. Our thoughts and feelings can both help and hinder us in presenting our best and authentic self. Are yours serving you? You are not anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. You are not your past trauma and your current confusion. I would like to work with you on creating the life that brings you happiness, peace and joy.

You're not happy.  You're not really sure when it all began, but slowly you find your life less fulfilling.  You can't find the motivation to get anything done, you're struggling to concentrate at work, and nothing interests you anymore.  It's like you're slipping into some black hole, and every day you sink just a little further. Sometimes, it's the anxiety that bothers you.  You're worried all the time, and it's making it hard just to function. You feel like you just can't take this insanity anymore. And then, this thought crosses your mind, "Maybe it would be better if I just didn't exist anymore." And this thought scares you...

We all deserve to feel better and I'm glad you are here. Are you feeling overwhelmed by panic and anxiety? Is the feeling of perfectionism putting you into overdrive or total avoidance? Does anxiety interfere with your work and relationships? Do you find yourself going down an anxiety rabbit hole finding it hard to find your way back? If this describes you- I GET you, I understand you, and I’m here to reassure you that it's possible to feel better. I'm here to provide support, tangible tools, and thought provoking questions to help you improve the quality of your life.

I have been a therapist for more than 25 years. I am caring, supportive, and take the time to understand. I realize it is difficult to talk about private, important matters with someone you don't know. You want to be comfortable with whomever you choose. Therefore, I offer a free half hour consultation. I can better understand something of what you are trying to deal with and let you know what we might do. You can see how comfortable you feel talking with me and sense whether I have something of value to give to you.
