Getting to know Dr. Jorge J. Asturias

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist (CA 18812) specializing in individual, couples, and family psychotherapy, in private practice in Murrieta (Riverside County), California. I earned my PsyD in Clinical Psychology from Alliant International University, Los Angeles Campus. With twenty years of experience as a clinician, I specialize in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, an exploratory, in-depth approach to healing trauma, addressing personal and interpersonal deficiencies, and promoting change. I also have experience in Forensic Psychology: I completed graduate training with the Los Angeles Police Department, Behavioral Sciences Services Unit, and subsequently worked as a Law-Enforcement Officer and Psychologist for the Federal Prison System. I have presented at various law-enforcement and general-audience conferences and trainings on topics ranging from cultural diversity, grief, parenting, police culture, workplace violence, and others. I am a pragmatic, interactive, and in-depth Psychologist. My treatment approach is to provide support and feedback to help clients resolve current problems and identify long-standing patterns. I incorporate a blend of conventional and alternative approaches, including the nexus between psychology and spirituality, drawing upon a variety of techniques to implement a style that will be most helpful for each client. I aim to work with sensitivity and compassion to help clients build on their strengths, overcome self-defeating patterns, and identify and achieve life goals.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I have developed an adaptive style of treatment over the years. Depending on your needs and own style, I can be interactive or reserved when appropriate. I can be direct and no-nonsense, with the intention of helping you elucidate blind spots and/or self-deceptive views and behaviors that negatively impact you. Or, I can be compassionate and patient when the toll of life is overwhelming you.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I prefer to "meet and greet" patients/clients initially. It is my objective to listen, observe, witness, and gradually, assess. I will provide an opinion, when suitable, and propose interventions and paths of exploration and discovery that align with your needs.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Asturias for over 10 years, working with him through both my teenage years and into adulthood. I first came to him carrying the weight of sexual abuse trauma, the loss of a parent at a young age, and many other challenges. From the very beginning, he created a space where I felt safe, understood, and genuinely supported. Over the years, he has played such an important role in my healing and personal growth. His compassion, patience, and ability to truly listen have made a lasting impact on my life. I am incredibly grateful to have had him as my psychologist during some of the most difficult and formative times in my life.
I thank the universe every day I that the path of life sent me to finally reach out for help and the universe rewarded me with the best psychologist. I don’t even know how to put it into words how much he as guided me to live a happier life.
Dr Asturias has challenged me to dig deep into thoughts and emotions that I had not yet untapped. The conversations have resonated with me profoundly. I look forward to my next sessions always.
The entire process to find a provider and book an appointment was amazing. Dr Jorge listened and helped me understand my issues. I immediately booked another appointment.

Dr. Asturias is very smart and knowledgeable. During sessions he not only asks good questions and listens well, but also is willing to share his insights and advice. In just three sessions I have gained significant new insight into lifelong issues. I recommend him highly.
Dr. Asturias has been an incredible support for our family, and I’m truly grateful for the positive impact he’s had on our lives. He is both kind and direct—a combination that creates a safe, honest space while still encouraging growth and clarity. He takes the time to explain things in a way that makes sense, helping us understand not just what’s happening, but why it's happening.

At first, I was a bit nervous when I applied to the appointment and filling out the forms since it was my first time.. but eventually it turned out great! What I do love about Dr. Asturias is his patience and being willing to understand right away of what I was trying to say or suggest, but struggled with the words. If you're looking for someone to help with your screening on what illnesses you have, or to provide a letter for your school for accommodations, this is the doctor for you! I think in the very future, I'll come back, but for now.. I'm super happy!

Dr. Asturias has been an amazing therapist for me. I have come to him for many years with any problems I may be facing and he’s always been able to help guide me through them to get to a peaceful and healed place. I definitely recommend him to anyone in need of mental health and looking for a therapist.
I’ve been seeing Dr. Asturias for years, and he’s been amazing. He really listens and never forces anything on you. He has been a tremendous addition to my life, and I’m very thankful to have found him.
Dr Asturias is an exceptional PsyD therapist. I started working with them this year, and have consistently been impressed by their professionalism, empathy, and expertise. Dr Asturias creates a supportive, non-judgmental environment where I felt heard and understood from our first session. They have been particularly effective in helping me understand and work through anxiety, stress, grief and loss, setting healthy boundaries, and emotional wellness. What stands out about Dr Asturias is their genuine care for their clients. They provide thoughtful, direct, and actionable feedback and adapt their approach to meet individual needs. I have seen significant personal growth and am confident in their ability to support others in overcoming challenges. I highly recommend Dr Asturias to anyone seeking a compassionate and skilled psychologist.
My intake with Dr. Asturias happened incredibly quick, candidly - I didn’t expect him to respond so soon with my previous experience with other therapists from this platform. Dr. Asturias has taken real steps to understand and help me understand the things I am struggling with and has proven to be someone I can trust fully. I will continue to see him and, I suspect, I will be for a long while. I highly recommend Dr. Asturias and explore you to give him a chance. It’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life. Thank you Doctor!
I can’t recommend Dr. Asturias enough! I went through many therapists before I found one that was a good fit for me. I also love that he’s bilingual and is willing to do online sessions. Highly recommended.
As being Latina, it is great having a therapist that is also Latino. He is able to understand my culture. He never judges and understands my problems or my situations. I highly recommend.
Dr.Asturias is awesome. I never had a therapist before and don’t really open up to people to talk about my feelings or problems , but I was able to with Dr.Asturias. He made me feel comfortable and he is real easy to talk to. He really does make you feel like it’s a safe space and no judgement area. I really learned a lot about myself within the amount of couple sessions I had with him and at times he was ok with going over a little longer on time because he could tell I needed to vent more and some advice. I never felt rushed and if I ever needed an emergency visit with him he was available. I highly recommend Dr.Asturias !
Dr Asturias is an amazing psychologist that puts you at ease when you are talking to him. He patiently listens and gives insightful advice that truly makes you feel better about any situation that you might be struggling with. I would never go to another provider for my counseling.
She was awesome ! Love her

He skillfully balanced moments of attentive understanding with instances of much-needed challenge. If you’re in search of a compassionate doctor committed to facilitating growth, your search concludes here. Having personally grown and worked with Dr. Asturias over numerous years, I attribute my achievements to his invaluable support, and therefore I’m forever grateful.
