Welcome on your search for a therapist. I love being a part of your experience, and I have spent my life training for and providing deep participation in improving the quality of life for my clients. Having been a teacher of psychology for years at Antioch University, Los Angeles, I will provide a full spectrum of theory and tools to use for your new life choices and design. I have had a private practice since 1990, and have seen the inspiring efforts that clients make, often in the face of great difficulty, to wrestle with their problems of living. I participated in a Theoretical Philosophical specialty for my Doctoral program at USC, and also have a lot of experience in a happy bi-racial marriage. Imagination and curiosity often guide you to a new answer, offering choices and changes that with work finally feel, truly authentic. Leah Matson has a Doctorate in Counseling Psychology from USC.
