Therapists in Van Nuys, CA

As a cognitive-behavioral therapist, I believe that people's emotions and behaviors are influenced by their perceptions and interpretation of events. I work collaboratively with my clients in a proactive manner in order for them to learn effective strategies that they can use for the rest of their lives. I also believe that we are influenced by the cultural context in which we grow up. All relationships are, to some extent, are contextual and intercultural. People often face new challenges as they go through transitions in their lives. I bring my life experiences and professional knowledge to therapy.

Your therapy is your journey of self-discovery to enable you to make informed decisions, to re-educate yourself, and even to re-parent yourself. It is similar to mountain climbing where a guide is exceedingly helpful. A therapist is like a Sherpa; he carries what may be too heavy to carry, sometimes he walks ahead to clear the path but often he follows your lead, after all it is your journey. When you are on your journey and you feel the need for a guide, a Sherpa to facilitate your journey, I may be of assistance.
