As a Psychologist, licensed in the state of California, I qualify as a mental health practitioner, which allows me to give diagnoses, facilitate things such as disability paperwork, and may let you use your PPO insurance plan, flex spending plan, or take a tax deduction for medical expenses.
Back in the day, (literally the last century), I graduated from the California School of Professional Psychology with a Doctorate of Clinical Psychology and Emphasis in Gender and Human Sexualities. I was trained in traditional methods of psychotherapy: psychodynamic theory, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and even did some really old school Freudian stuff. While I was still in school, I worked with AIDS patients, and all we had to support their bodies was their minds, which we did, and it helped. That’s when I began looking for bigger, broader, wider approaches to human psychology that treated people not as a brain trapped in a body, but a brain AND a body, working together as a single, integrated system.
I’ve spent the last 12 years studying Organic Intelligence because I’ve found it to be the most cutting edge and the most wholistic approach to mental health and well-being available. I hope you do as well.
