Do you love your craft but find the business side of things can be hard on your mental health? I've been there and I can help. There is so much out of your control, no wonder anxiety and depression are common experiences for creatives. Therapy will help you gain a better understanding of who you are, where you come from, and how to cope with and respond to challenges.

I work to create a space where you have the freedom to express yourself without judgment and leave having felt heard and understood.

In this time of intense uncertainty and stress, feelings of overwhelm, exhaustion, isolation and burnout are pervasive. So many of us can identify with having difficulty concentrating, making decisions, motivating, and following through. I specialize in anxiety, OCD, ADHD, high-stress careers, the entertainment industry, relationships and life transitions. I work with my clients to identify strengths and blocks; build executive functioning, coping skills, and self-esteem; move towards goals; and create lasting change. Life is stressful... But it can also be rich, meaningful and full of possibility. I am here to help!

My style of therapy is one that is both collaborative and supportive. I believe that all individuals have the capacity to make lasting changes in their lives. I help the individual tap into those abilities by challenging the conscious and unconscious barriers that can impede growth and change. Using psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral techniques, I provide a safe, nurturing environment where individuals can explore their challenges and unearth their full potential.

It takes courage to understand the need for healing. My mission in psychotherapy is to help you learn how to help yourself. It should be emphasized that psychotherapy is far from "one size fit all." Therefore, the art of change in psychotherapy is achieved through a thorough psychological assessment in order to apply the precise remedies to your specific challenges. As a result, healing is often achieved by re-conceptualizing your past and presence, but most importantly is to improve your outlook on the future. I have been practicing as a psychologist for 26 years, on three continents.

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

As a therapist, it is my sole intention to assist you in nurturing your own unique insight. When I'm in conversation with my clients, we work together to name and understand the issues that trouble them. I assist them in confronting the barriers to a more enjoyable life, and together we discover what needs to change, or what can be more peacefully accepted. I am primarily a "talk" therapist. My clients have described me as "down to earth" and "personable." I also use Cognitive Behavioral techniques in order to change unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior.

Let's collaborate to help you move towards more insight, peace and fulfillment. I understand that every person has their own unique struggle and I want to help you to be able identify your blocks and strategize ways through them. Therapy can heal wounds from the past and take us into the present where we can make choices that help to put us on a path that we truly desire.

I have over 15 years of experience helping individuals and couples identify and work through patterns in their lives that are no longer working for them. In my practice, I address a wide range of needs and work with adult clients of all ages with diverse issues. My specialties include working with past and current trauma, relationship issues, divorce, parenting difficulties, anxiety, depression, difficulty determining career/academic goals, and painful life transitions. I am trained in EMDR Therapy, which has been very successful in treating people suffering from anxiety, panic, post traumatic stress, or other painful emotions.

We all have many layers of past experience that affect our present feelings, self-worth and relationships. Therapy is a unique experience where we can explore these connections, develop greater self-awareness and make meaningful changes. I work closely with my clients to help them develop more self-agency and compassion, so that they can address their current circumstances and move forward with a greater sense of meaning, clarity and purpose. I have a genuine interest in how people have developed their personal and relational patterns and I look forward to hearing your story and helping you make positive changes in your life.

My clients find me during various times in life: young adulthood, transition into working world/career, partnership/marriage, becoming a parent, transitions through parenting, mothering, mid-life, peri/menopause, loss, grief & aging. The anxiety, sadness, upheaval & unknown along with the learning, empowering, joys & personal growth of these times is where I work best to help my clients. There is suffering in so many ways in life & there is relief from suffering in also so many ways. I work with my clients to create their own unique & dynamic set of life tools & supports for ongoing healing & wholeness.

Are you navigating the complexities of trauma and seeking a compassionate guide to support you along the way? With over 20 years of dedicated experience in trauma recovery, research, and therapeutic services, I bring a wealth of expertise to my practice. From surviving chronic abuse and neglect in childhood, sexual abuse, physical abuse, having a mentally ill parent, or experiencing abandonment, I'm here to walk alongside you on your path to healing. The road to recovery for individuals facing complex PTSD is often marked by distinct challenges.

What I love most about therapy is that it offers an opportunity for a person to explore their thoughts, feelings, opinions, and develop a more meaningful understanding of our behaviors (the good, the self-sabotaging, and the in-between). Where else in life do we get to focus on ourselves in this constructive way? Therapy is one of the best gifts someone can invest their time, energy, and money in that will benefit all facets of their lives.

I offer an open, non-judgemental space where you can speak honestly about your thoughts and experiences while working towards your personal goals. As a queer, trauma-informed sex therapist, I enjoy working together to deconstruct the social scripts, pressures and ‘shoulds’ that often get in the way of our growth, healing and liberation. Some areas that I am especially passionate about working with are anxiety, self-esteem, life transitions, gender identity, sexuality, relationship dynamics, existential questioning, sexual trauma and chronic pain.

Hi! I'm glad you're here. Perhaps you are experiencing discomfort in one or many of your relationships, or are just feeling generally out of control or down. You don't have to navigate these difficult feelings alone, we can face them together. Whatever your needs may be, I am here to support you. Together, we can work to identify relationship or behavioral patterns that may have fallen into your blindspots and together face any negative feelings. Through this insight and self-discovery, we will explore your past safely together to make sense of your present and support you in building a fulfilling and meaningful future.

I believe therapy can be incredibly transformative and I am passionate about helping others to live rich and meaningful lives. Depression, fear, anxiety, and self-limiting beliefs can keep us from living the life we desire. If you’re feeling stuck and overwhelmed, or perhaps you’ve been sleepwalking through life, feeling unfulfilled, and wanting more, please reach out. Whatever it is, we will work through it together and create lasting change in your life. My approach to counseling is integrative, collaborative, and relational. My style is warm, but direct and honest (and I often use humor, as I find it to be so healing).

I help individuals and couples feeling lost and uncertain of life’s direction, using a psychodynamic approach to unlock past influences and cultivate self-understanding and agency.

The experiences and interactions we have throughout our lifetime can have an impact on our well-being, thoughts, emotions, relationships and decision making. As we begin to understand our thoughts, emotions and behaviors we may be able to face life challenges in more effective ways. At times, attempting to understand ourselves without any support can feel confusing or exhausting. In therapy sessions I will provide you with support in a collaborative and safe space as you discuss past challenges or current stressors. Sessions are individually tailored to meet your therapy goals.

I provide accelerated psychotherapy for individuals and couples who are challenged by performance loss and emotional unhappiness.
