South Bay Psychological Center was established in order to provide
psychological services for individuals, couples, children, and
families based on a multidisciplinary approach. Our primary orientation
is a Radically Eclectic/Humanistic Approach: a value in believing
that the person can overcome his or her problems when there is
a caring person to join them in their struggle.
Our overall approach integrates goal directed, evidence based
treatment strategies like cognitive behavior therapy with other
recognized disciplines such as Psychodynamic/Experiential therapy.
Our goal is to include the wisdom gained from all of the various
treatment methods and theories that have provided meaningful help
for people with personal and emotional struggles.
Our objective is to integrate these various treatment strategies
in a deliberate and prescriptive manner that would maximize the
benefits for our clients. Expertise in each of the different treatment
methods have been attained through years of training and clinical
experience. Therefore, the selection of the modality as well as
the timing of the specific strategies would contribute to maximize
the effectiveness of the treatment.

We offer a free telephone consultation in order to assess if we

CBT is a goal oriented treatment utilizing identifying thoughts,
feelings, and behaviors in order to help reduce distress. Cognitive
skills entail learning about how one’s thoughts can be distorted
and cause unnecessary suffering. Behavioral skills depend on the
feelings being addressed such as relaxation skills for reducing
anxiety, exposures to overcome fear, and behavioral activation
for depression. |
