Men's Issues - Dr. Dean
Psychologist, PsyD, QME, Author
Verified Verified
New Downtown, Los Angeles, CA 90071
I have been in practice since 2007 and have been featured on ABC, NBC, and KCAL 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 offer both online and in-person therapy sessions.
In our fast-paced world, we rarely pause to reflect, leaving many with unresolved emotions. Therapy offers a safe space to heal, free from judgment or the need for perfection. For an hour, you don’t have to carry everything alone—we’ll explore your inner world and work toward growth and peace.
As a Black therapist, I’m dedicated to supporting my community. Black and brown people face unique challenges that impact their mental health, and having a therapist who understands these realities matters. My goal is to create a space where marginalized individuals feel seen, heard, and supported.

I am currently seeing clients in-person if they are vaccinated and offering tele-health sessions via Zoom.
We all have ideals-- how we think we should feel, how we feel we should think, how we want others to behave towards us, how we want our life to unfold. When reality doesn’t match our ideals, it can bring confusion, frustration, even despair. We may feel trapped between our ideals and reality, leading us to believe we are spinning in circles. I see the therapeutic process as one that allows for an exploration of these ideals and an opportunity to understand how they play a role in one’s relationship with self and with others. My hope is that, through this process, you will find a deeper clarity of your values, wants, and needs.

Trauma can feel like a shadow that follows you everywhere. You try to move forward, but the past keeps pulling you back. It isn’t just the memories that bother you, it's the beliefs you hold because of the memories that leave you feeling helpless.

You don't like your current state. You don't like your mood swings, you don't like your insecurity, you don't like that you feel stuck both physically and emotionally now in this pandemic. The world is changing so rapidly and everything is different. You know you're not the only one who's struggling and you want to be more positive, yet it still feels like you're the only one who’s out of place, left behind, and failing. You want to stop feeling this way, you want to change.
