Hello! My name is Dr. William Brock or Dr. Bill, and I have been practicing for over 30 years as a licensed psychologist in California. I have a Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy) in psychology from the University of Southern California. I also have credentials in school psychology and counseling. My training includes an extensive background in CBT (Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy) as well as many other evidence-based treatment approaches to therapy. I work with adults with a wide range of anxiety, depression, substance use, and other compulsive behaviors.
My approach
The approach that I take is Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), a term that includes a number of science-based strategies and skills, including education, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, and others. We will examine what we are thinking about the situations in our lives and, if we are not satisfied with the outcomes, we will figure out more helpful ways to approach the situations. We will examine the habits and patterns that we want to increase and those that we want to stop or decrease.
