Autism Therapists in Pasadena, CA

Through telehealth-, home-, and school-based services, I meet my clients where they are. Usually families come to me because they feel stuck. Their child has difficult emotions, acts out, and cannot seem to listen. Teachers and parents struggle to feel effective and worry about the child’s future. Everything feels complicated and out of control.

Our program at New England Center for OCD and Anxiety (Boston and Los Angeles) offers specialized, affirmative, compassionate, and culturally responsive care for individuals and families struggling with treatment refractory OCD and related disorders. We offer Telehealth, in-home, community, and school-based services to support you where you need it most. We use a strengths-based, affirmative approach that includes ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis), to help every client build a rich and meaningful life they can love.

My office is a place where you can feel safe and supported while processing the challenges you experience in day to day life. In our work together, you will discover more about yourself and who you are in light of your life experiences. I am compassionate and understanding, and will work to build a relationship in which there is room for you to feel safely challenged and supported. I create a collaborative environment that invites you into the therapeutic process. I work with individuals across the lifespan, couples, and families, and I specialize in working with Neurodivergent folks.

I have much respect for you and your personal life challenges. My goal is to help you address issues blocking your enjoyment of life such as depression, anxiety, trauma, relational issues, bipolar disorder, and substance abuse. My role is to help you further develop your sense of choice and empowerment to improve your current situations and overall well-being. My purpose is to unconditionally support and assist you in processing your thoughts and feelings, identifying and understanding what is blocking your progress toward peace and harmony in living. I look forward to getting to join you on your journey through change and growth.

Hi. I am so glad you are here. I hope you will find what you are looking for. Therapy is an art form that allows for tailored interventions addressing your concerns. While we all have the tools for a fulfilling life, we may experience feelings of being stuck, overwhelmed, helpless or trapped in an unhealthy world. This does not need to be your life! As a therapist, I will help you illuminate your path, gain self-understanding, and refocus your energy to build harmony.

Our unique human existence presents many challenges that invite opportunities for deep learning, healing, and transformation. When we open ourselves up to the lessons of our adversity rather than avoiding them, we unlock doors of new possibilities and new ways of being in relationships, in the world, and in relationship with ourselves. While temporarily painful, engaging with life’s challenges in this way can ultimately develop deeper inner resiliency, authenticity, and renewed vitality. I will help you cultivate deeper alignment between your values and true desires, and how you can embody them authentically in your life.

I work from a compassionate, non-judgemental lens to promote authenticity, creativity, and your strengths. There is only one you, there are so many things that have shaped the person you are today. It is this frame of mind that drives me to individualize treatment for each and every client. I believe in the benefits of collaboration in my work so that we can identify your truths, values, and actualize your goals. This client-focused perspective is used with a combination of mindfulness, grounding, and emotion-focused interventions to bring your thoughts, body, and actions together.

Are you finally ready to take the leap outside of your comfort zone and to move in the direction you want to go toward in this precious life of yours? If you want to move past the stuckness but you do not know how, reach out. There is so much help available to you. Being in life's challenges with the support of a dedicated therapist can be an incredible opportunity to grow toward the highest and most fabulous expression of you.

My aim is for therapy services to have similar accessibility and normalcy for mental health, as other services have for physical health. Therapy is a beneficial practice in healing what ails our souls. My goal is that our sessions will be a safe space for you to learn, explore, reconnect, grow and heal. Therapy is not one size fits all, and I tailor fit my approach to your individual needs. I have extensive experience with adolescents, and love working with teens, young adults, families and couples. I'm also happy to offer services in Spanish as well.

Hello, I'm Dr. Thomas Duke, an experienced licensed Psychologist located in Pasadena. I provide therapy for adults, children, teens, and families.

I specialize in working with dually diagnosed individuals and their families with severe and persistent mental illnesses, such as Polysubstance Dependence, Schizophrenia, Schizoaffective Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder with Psychotic Features, Bipolar Disorder, and Acute Anxiety Disorders. I have always had a special interest in working with family and couples, especially where one or both suffer from severe mental illness. I am on staff at several local inpatient and outpatient mental health facilities, and help facilitate hospital admissions in a sensitive and professional manner. I offer individual and family community interventions as needed. I also help professionals coping with workplace stress.

I will be on leave from November 2023 - April 2024, so I am not taking any new clients at this time. Please feel free to reach out in the spring to schedule! I specialize in providing comprehensive psychological evaluations of children, adolescents, and adults. These evaluations uncover the many strengths and talents that one possesses, while providing guidance on how to unlock the full potential of that person. “There is no such thing as limits to growth, because there are no limits to the human capacity for intelligence, imagination, and wonder.” – Ronald Reagan

I work primarily with men, teens, and their families. Those I work with often feel stuck in some way, whether that is stuck in a job, or in depression, or with anxiety, or negative patterns in relationships. It is a privilege to walk alongside those who come into my office, to learn their stories, their strengths, and their struggles, and to give them a safe place to learn about themselves and move toward growth and thriving.

We all need strong, healthy relationships for our personal, social, emotional growth and development. At times the pathway to building strong relationships can be perplexing and bewildering. My therapeutic approach provides a supportive, safe harbor that is both collaborative and non-judgmental. I will help families, couples, and individuals build robust, satisfying lives and deeply meaningful relationships.

When you’re experiencing the full chaos of living, it can be hard to find ways to meaningfully show up for yourself. As an Associate Marriage & Family Therapist, my goal is to open a space for you to pause, take a breath, and feel understood as you connect with who you are and where you are in the moment. I work across the lifespan with children (ages 5+), adolescents, and adults looking for a safe and nurturing environment to explore their multifaceted identities, relationships, and past/current/future lived experiences.

Hey there, My expertise lies in tackling anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship dynamics, and life transitions, always tailoring my approach to fit each individual. My journey began from a place of deep personal understanding of generational trauma, igniting a passion to help others navigate their own complexities and behaviors. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with diverse communities, gaining invaluable experience across various mental health landscapes—from working with children to adults, and in specialized areas like adoption and substance abuse.

I provide therapy to people across the lifespan, from young children to older adults, as well as couples and families. While the methods may change depending on age and circumstance the goals are often similar: to feel understood, to connect, and to grow. I work in a respectful, collaborative and creative way to explore the parts of self that might be contributing to feelings of stagnation and being stuck. I was previously licensed as an Educational and Child Psychologist in the UK and I have extensive experience in schools, working with children, parents and faculty to support student growth and wellbeing.
