Hi! My name is Dr. William Brock, or Dr. Bill, and I have been practicing for over 20 years as a clinical psychologist. I have a Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology) from the University of Southern California. I also have credentials for 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.
My approach The approach that I take is 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.
My focus I work with adults ages 18 and up and I can work with you on a variety of problems. Our goal is to help you lead a happier and productive life.
My communication style My goal is to provide a positive and supportive environment that allows you to examine your life and your values so that you can make positive changes. I strive to create a comfortable and calm environment to support you as you make important changes in your life.
My goals for you My goal in therapy is to help you identify your core beliefs and values, as well as the barriers that are holding you back. You will learn skills and strategies that will help you to successfully manage your emotional life.
The First Session Our initial session(s) will include getting to know each other and an initial assessment that includes your history, diagnosis, identifying treatment goals, and plans to achieve those goals. Beginning with the second session we will begin to learn and practice the skills and strategies that will help you to achieve your goals.
