Male Therapists in Calabasas, CA

You are a good person. You are authentic, open, honest, and vulnerable. However, there is someone in your life who takes advantage of your good nature and makes your life a living Hell. While you are open and honest, they respond with secrecy, lies, and often blame you for creating your own stress. I am here to help you sort through all of the chaos and create some peace in your life. Call me and we can discuss how I can help you create appropriate boundaries, and/or start the process of finding another human who will treat you in the same caring way that you treat others. I have evening hours (after 530pm) for people who work days.

My couples therapy work has spanned 20 years. In addition to the attraction and happiness of being a couple, there are always challenges.

Parenting issues are an area of particular interest to me.

I understand the anxiety around therapy. Will the therapist have an open mind?, is he/she supportive?, is this therapist right for me? I offer a 30-minute phone consultation to alleviate these concerns before we get started. We get to know one another and see if we are a good match. And, it won't cost you a dime! I can be either active, asking questions, exploring behaviors inhibiting your growth or listening, assimilating information, getting a better picture of where we need to go in our work. Either way, our relationship is "collaborative", with your best interests at heart.

Growing up, few were taught how to get out of their head, cope with anxiety, depression, or anger. There was no class on this. We learned from the people around us and TV to avoid things, drink, yell, lie, shut down, isolate, spend money, and worry. So for most people, the method of dealing with their problems don't quite cut it. That's why it's vital to learn skills to have control over emotions so that emotions don't have control over you. My goal is to provide you these skills, insight, hope and a chance to change in meaningful ways.

If you're looking for another therapist who just sits there with a note pad and every once in a while asks, "and how did that make you feel?” – you’ve got the wrong guy.

The work of healing is a deeply personal pursuit, one that requires looking inward with vulnerability, and my job is to guide and support that process of growth. I can help to point you in the directions where personal insight, progress, and development are possible.
