This may not be an easy time in your life and I respect your courage to reach out for help. Hiding fear of failure or family pressure to be perfect and make it look effortless is a daily struggle. I know you can be overwhelmed. Frustrated and angry. I have lived it and have decades of experience. After facing the pressure from parents, peers, or yourself, you need a place to sort out who you are and how you fit into these pieces. You may be looking for a safe place to work through your challenges, such as when you are experiencing anxiety or depression, or even a unique cultural experience that you feel nobody understands.

As a psychologist and psychoanalyst I believe most of us can benefit from psychotherapy or psychoanalysis. As treatment modalities psychotherapy and psychoanalysis relieve symptoms on the one hand, facilitate emotional growth and development on the other. Therapist and patient work together to uncover the roots of emotional disturbances by exploring the present and past experiences. I provide individual, couple and family therapy to adults and children through consultation, crisis intervention, short-term and long-term psychotherapy or psychoanalysis. The therapeutic sessions are conducted in the privacy of my offices for a person to explore issues concerning him or her.

Stories. We all have them - stories that we believe about our abilities, our partners, and our past. These stories shape what we unconsciously decide that we are capable of or deserving of. When we experience trauma, we develop unhealthy coping behaviors that support the stories. We think that these behaviors are a part of our personality, but they are not; they are simply survival strategies. And the unhealthy strategies that helped us to survive trauma earlier in life affect our ability to form healthy adult relationships and to meet our goals. But what if the stories are wrong? How do we find our true stories?

Are you overwhelmed with negative feelings causing you to have depression and anxiety? Are you repeating the same behavioral patterns in your relationships? Would you like to learn new life skills such as coping skills, problem solving skills, and communication skills? Do you like to build up your self-esteem, self-confidence, self-love, and self-esteem? Or simply do you need to talk to someone objective and non-judgmental outside the circle of your family and friends? If your answer is yes to any of these questions, please pick up the phone and call me at: 949-350-5780

Life's challenges may seem overwhelming at times: you may find yourself stuck in an unproductive pattern, not getting what you want in life, whether it involves your relationship with your family, your significant other, or your children, life lost its happiness.

 We can work towards positive change and build on strengths as you seek what is really important to you. Change can shift our thinking and behavior patterns. Change may be connecting with others in an authentic way. Change may mean managing your emotions in a way that empowers you, not weakens. Change can be realizing your own strength and potential for the first time.

Welcome to my practice. I have about 15 years of clinical experience and have been featured on NBC/KCAL/HLN as an expert psychologist. I work primarily with men who have hit “rock bottom” and would like help getting up. These men are often in crisis when we first meet. The issues I address are typically related to unhealthy sexual behaviors, infidelity, financial recklessness, gambling, drugs/alcohol, dishonesty/lying, and relational conflicts. My therapy approach is a combination of psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, and the 12-Step recovery model. I also share insight from my own painful but redemptive recovery journey.

I'm Dr. Dean Leav, licensed psychologist and qualified medical evaluator (QME). I've been featured on NBC, KCAL, HLN, and other programs as an expert psychologist. I provide Evaluation Services, including (and not limited to): diagnostics (ADHD, Autism, Learning Dis.), cognitive/neuropsychological evaluations, workers' compensation (QME/AME), immigration-related evaluations, pre-adoption psychological evaluations, parenting/bonding assessments, drug & alcohol evaluations, pre-employment evaluations, and legal/forensics/criminal evaluations. These evaluations may be used to meet eligibility for certain services or accommodations.

I treat psychological difficulties with a compassionate, yet results-oriented approach. When someone suffers from a medical disorder, a comprehensive assessment of the problem is required in order to obtain an accurate diagnosis. If the diagnosis is incorrect, treatment will repeatedly fail. As a diagnostician, my focus is to treat people, many of whom had been non-responsive to previous psychological / medical treatment, in this same way. Only with a correct diagnosis will treatment be effective. Once determined, goals discussed, a treatment plan in place, the therapy begins. With time and work, individuals grow to experience enhanced emotional health along with interpersonal and professional contentment.
