"Check out some of my videos to get a sense of my style: www.matthewjdempsey.com/videos I use several approaches to tailor the therapy to each individual to work with clients in the most effective and efficient ways to reach all goals. Some methods in the therapeutic process include but aren't limited to understanding the impact of meaningful relationships in one's life, raising awareness of irrational thoughts and belief systems, increasing emotional connectivity, and strategizing behavioral changes. Through increasing emotional and cognitive awareness, you can achieve goals of enhancing your life and overall mood."

"If you are moving through a difficult transition or wanting to tend to the deeper psychological aspects of past traumatic situations or persistent addictions, my work can help you. My training is based in a psychoanalytic perspective coupled with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and a genuine appreciation for sexual, cultural, and spiritual diversity. A psychoanalytic view suggests that current problems may be sourced in unconscious patterns, often rooted in the past, that would benefit from attention and understanding. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy helps reduce addictive behaviors and anxiety through the practice of gentle self observation and present moment awareness."

"I'm interested in assisting clients in relaxing, loving themselves and others and creating more fulfilling lives. I am an interactive therapist who joins with clients to develop better ways of coping with life's opportunities and challenges.

My focus is on creating a safe and supportive atmosphere in which clients can achieve their goals and improve their lives and feel better."

"Sit down with a good psychotherapist, and it can change your life. It changed mine. Maybe you are struggling with a seemingly unsolvable problem or repeating pattern of behavior. You're not where you want to be in life or in work, you don't feel the way you want to feel, your relationships are troubled, or something seems to undermine your efforts. I work with people who feel stuck--sad, isolated, frightened, anxious, angry, confused, disconnected, hopeless, unlovable. Sometimes you just need a hand finding the doorway to a better life."

"I specialize in working with gay individuals and couples. As a gay child growing up in the midwest, I endured years of bullying, ridicule, and humiliation. As an adult, my work with a good therapist was key in helping me to re-cast my self image, accept and value myself for who I am, and transform the way that I interface with the world at large. So profound was this work that it moved me to become a psychotherapist myself. Whether you are a young person trying to cope with isolation or various forms of abuse,"

"Pain in your life is going to sleep feeling lonely or disconnected, it's being pierced with anxiety, it's an unhealthy pattern that never seems to go away.

"I help people who are heartbroken, recovering from lost love and grieving. I work with people across the gender and sexuality spectrum (LGBTQ) and have an affinity for artists and creative individuals. I often laugh with my patients and firmly believe that humor is integral to healing."

"We all worry about our relationships from time to time. We may feel sadness, anger, mistrust, resentment, or confusion about love, sex, and connection. While all of these emotions are perfectly natural, they also may be a sign that it's time to talk with someone who can help you cope with them. It's my mission to assist you in resolving any issues that limit the intimacy and joy in your life. Just reach out. (via Email is best. I can respond much more quickly to questions that way.)"

"I have maintained a private practice in Beverly Hills or West Hollywood for 30 years, and I am an Associate Clinical Professor in the UCLA Psychology Department. I have found it helpful to be eclectic in my theoretical orientation, depending upon the personality of the client, the issues being discussed, and the client's own history of what has and has not been helpful. I integrate cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and humanistic elements in my approach to each client, always attempting to provide a safe and respectful environment in which clients can grow."

"Psychotherapy can be a challenging and rewarding process. People often come to treatment to talk about what's wrong, but it is also important to talk about what's right. Each person has natural areas of strength we can capitalize on to increase coping skills, reduce distress, improve relationships, and develop a more positive outlook. With a collaborative approach that combines insight-oriented and goal-directed interventions, we will work together to create new pathways towards well-being. My integrative orientation uses psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and strength-based techniques to increase self-acceptance, flexibility, adaptability, and to improve your overall quality-of-life."

My style is supportive, yet active; I also utilize humor when appropriate. Together we will work toward defining and achieving your treatment goals."
