Clinical Psychologists are exceptionally well-trained in working with clients to understand and modify behavior. Unlike psychiatrists who go to medical school then focus in their residency on mental illness, clinical psychologists study growth and development, personality, interpersonal processes, social and emotional aspects of behavior, and so on ... Not a "disease model" but a much more complex and rounded perspective on our lives. Clinical psychologists obtain a bachelors degree, then four or five years of graduate school to earn a Ph.D., including a pre-doctoral internship, then one or two years of post-doctoral supervised experience before licensure.

As a psychologist, my approach to helping clients heal major mental illness, trauma, and other significant emotional and psychological problems with functioning well in daily life, is highly interpersonal. Research shows the therapeutic relationship is key to overcoming deep distress. My experience and extensive training show the relational approach to be highly effective especially in working with high risk teens, men who say they'd never go to therapy, persons in high stress careers like law enforcement, emergency medicine, and the military. I also specialize in issues related to eating disorders, depression, anxiety, and interpersonal adjustment. See my website for details.
