Getting to know Dr. Estella Sneider
Dr. Estella Sneider, was born in Mexico City to a highly successful Lithuanian Immigrant father, from humble beginnings and her Peruvian born immigrant mother. She was taught from the very beginning of her life, the value and importance of family, education, diligence of purpose, and respect for the needs of others less fortunate in Society.
Moving to the United States with her husband and two children in 1976, Estella fulfilled her dream for higher education. While learning to speak the English language she enrolled at the University of Southern California where she graduated Cum Laude while at the same time, still fulfilling her duties as a wife and a mother. In order to meet her familial obligations, and to create an educational schedule that would allow her to meet her requirements at home, she first attended The California School of Professional Psychology and later the California Graduate Institute of Psychology.
The latter gave her an extensive course of study in the area of psychological psychotherapeutic treatment, and bestowed on her both a Masters degree and a Doctoral degree in Psychology, as well as two certifications with emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy and Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy. After completing three thousand hours of internship for Marriage and Family Therapy, she also completed an additional internship for Clinical Psychology; which culminated in her passing both Board Examinations that licensed her as both a Psychologist and a Marriage and Family Therapist. Now, as “Dr. Estella Sneider”, she then completed a postdoctoral certification in Sex Therapy at the University of California Los Angeles.
With her intensive formal education behind her, Dr. Sneider commenced her private practice in 1986. She opened a small office, ‘Options Counseling Center’, in west Los Angeles and in 1989; she opened her much expanded and highly successful practice in Beverly Hills, California.
