My name is Brock Pistel, Ph.D. and I really enjoy what I do. I’m a licensed psychologist in the state of California, working with clients via telehealth. I provide individual therapy to adults experiencing difficulties with anxiety, depression, substance misuse, and trauma. I primarily use a cognitive behavioral therapy approach but often I adapt my approach to best suit my clients. Rather than adhering solely to one specific theory or approach, I use some of the best combinations of interventions I believe the field has to offer. I believe in using interventions best suited to a client.
I like to think of my communication style as flexible in that I can be direct and subtle, as well as assertive and gentle. I can lead a conversation, when necessary, but also follow. I believe that anything a good therapist says must come from a compassionate place and that listening first is paramount to any quality communication.
I view my job as helping clients to see that life and set goals that are best for them. I do this by asking thoughtful questions and listening carefully to what is truly important in the client’s life. In doing so I often find that clients and I arrive upon a positive goal together.
