Humanistic Therapists in South Gate, CA
Hi there, I'm Dinandrea! I am a compassionate, collective liberationist-oriented psychotherapist. I pull from politically-leftist, critical psychology as well as humanistic and existentialist frameworks. I center marginalized persons, including BIPOC and LGBTQIA persons. I understand that persons in need of psychotherapy are more than a set of symptoms and diagnoses; our mental health conditions are a complex mixture of ancestral, epigenetic, familial, social and societal histories, issues and dynamics that need to be explored, processed and affirmed in order to improve our condition and functioning.

I believe taking the necessary time to provide attention to yourself takes courage. We have become too good at distracting ourselves with the every day demands of life and do not take time to nurture our own needs.

I believe a transformation story is a very powerful thing. Are you ready to begin yours? Maybe some of these are familiar to you: relationship heartbreak, isolation, procrastination, career pressure, emotional chaos or persistent confusion about your life’s direction. If they are, I understand that you may feel so broken down and sliding into doubt and bitterness about your role as the hero in the story of your life. You know...the hero you once believed you were meant to be.

I focus on healing the wounds that have created internal negative "stories" about ourselves and the world to help people reconnect with their original creative, powerful, loving selves. Clients learn stress reduction and self-nurturing techniques to support themselves on the journey through processing trauma and throughout their lives.

How does humanistic therapy work?
One tenet of humanistic therapy is that people are good. The humanistic approach is concerned with a person’s ability to accept oneself. It likewise encourages a person to overcome self-criticism and self-defeating tendencies, as well as disapproval from others. This approach also emphasizes self-actualization and treating an individual as a whole person. A foundation of this therapy type: The patient is the expert in their life, and treatment often takes the individual’s lead.
Is humanistic therapy evidence-based?
Humanistic therapy is an evidence-based practice. Research has found that humanistic therapy can lead to significant improvement, and for some people it can be just as effective as other therapies, such as Cognitive behavioral therapy. The benefits of humanistic therapy are enduring.
How long does humanistic therapy last?
The goal of humanistic therapy is to understand a person’s day-to-day experiences. While sessions can be short-term and last over a few months, therapy can sometimes continue beyond that and last up to a year or more. And because patients learn the theory behind humanistic therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have been completed.
Is humanistic therapy effective?
According to research, many patients find success with humanistic therapy. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in addressing poor self-esteem and self-sabotage, as well as improving conditions including anxiety and depression. Improvements in problem areas can be long standing, as individuals can continue working on themselves by using the tools they’ve learned during treatment.
