Getting to know Aviv Linden

Hi there, I'm Aviv! I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with a holistic approach that tailors clinical interventions to each client's unique needs. I hold a Master's in Psychology from Pepperdine University. My primary practice is in psychodynamic therapy, complemented by elements of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), and family systems therapy. I work with clients facing challenges such as anxiety, PTSD, depression, and bereavement, maintaining an affirmative and nonjudgmental stance when working with LGBTQ+ individuals. Additionally, I see couples and families, honoring each member's contribution within the family system to foster better understanding and growth. My approach My therapeutic approach is client-centered and integrative, allowing me to tailor interventions to the specific needs of each individual, couple, or family. I primarily work within the framework of psychodynamic therapy, which explores the influence of past experiences on present behavior and emotions. This approach helps clients gain deep insights into their unconscious patterns and promotes long-lasting change. In addition to psychodynamic therapy, I incorporate elements of CBT to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, DBT for emotion regulation and mindfulness, and MBSR to enhance present-moment awareness and reduce stress. I also employ family systems therapy, particularly when working with couples and families, to address relational dynamics and honor each member's role within the system. This integrative approach ensures therapy is personalized and effective, addressing both symptoms and underlying causes of distress. My focus I work with individuals aged 18 and older, across all stages of life, who are navigating a variety of emotional and psychological challenges.
