Experience
Psy d, Psychologist for Residential Treatment Center, Malibu and Founder of Zen Psychology
Jun 2020 — Present · Malibu, CA, US
While having practiced for ca. 30 years, I founded the Los Angeles Center for Zen Psychology in 2012, with the release of my first book \"A Unified Theory of Happiness: An East-Meets-West Approach to Fully Loving Your Life\". Zen Psychology (ZP) is an openhearted way of life, a psychology that is Western Zen. Zen Psychology Therapy (ZPT) is a new approach that evolved from the confluence of Western and Eastern thought, treating predominately: the effects of trauma, depression, anxiety, OCD, relational problems, loss, confusion over one\'s happiness, and lack of clarity. The influence of Zen is secular and concerns mostly the mindfulness of the therapist as well as the aim of therapy, which is the necessary mental flexibility to engage fully in the present moment. According to the client\'s needs, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and psychodynamic therapy play a role in building emotional intelligence and awareness. Upon request, clients may seek highly private consultations, meditation groups, workshops, and professional training. The Center for Zen Psychology is a serene, compassionate place where people come to their senses, something that often goes amiss in our media-driven, highly competitive, overwhelming culture.
