Hello, my name is Rob Park, and I am a licensed psychologist in California. Are you a child, teen, young adult, or the parent/guardian of one, finding that there is a LOT going on in life, and feel anxious, overwhelmed, and stressed-out? I have over 20 years of experience providing an emotionally safe, validating environment in which to engage young people and their parents/guardians in this collaborative task of therapy. I aspire to provide support and skill-development for kids and teens, as well as providing support to parents and guardians in the difficult role of raising a family. I bring a positive, strengths-based, person-centered and culturally-informed approach to therapy. I feel therapy works best when there is a solid connection and alliance between client and therapist to work toward treatment goals.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

You can expect me to immediately work to earn your trust in a non-judgmental way, in order to help you feel more comfortable in therapy. I want to understand you (both child/teen and parent/guardian) and the hopes you have for therapy, and to develop treatment goals and a treatment plan in a collaborative process.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My strengths include a passion for helping people: kids, teens, young adults, and their parents/guardians, which I have done for over 19 years. I feel that I connect with a wide range of kids and teens, and I emphasize being genuine and real, and bring an approach that includes humor, when appropriate. Life stress and mental health are not "one size fits all" - I value the unique stories and perspectives young people have, and I aim to help provide a path to improved well-being.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, parents/guardians, as well as young adults ages 18-25 transitioning to "adulting."
