“Dean has changed my life tremendously! I started seeing him with my partner due to troubling waters. Due to the guidance and mentorship Dean provided us we are now happily married and with a newborn baby. I'm always referring Dean to my students and people close to me. He is a true life changer! It's because of him I have such a beautiful marriage with healthy boundaries. His book is also incredible and I highly recommend it! My husband and I love Dean!”

Getting to know Dean Del Giudice
Please be aware that I am exclusively self-pay and do NOT take ANY form of insurance.
One of the most valuable and tangible assets I bring to my clients is my life experience. Before becoming a therapist and life coach, I did everything from parking cars and busing tables to serving as a regional sales manager for a Fortune 500 company. Along the way, I started a few small businesses of my own; not all of them successful. I understand what people face both as corporate employees and entrepreneurs. I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth, and I know that being street smart is just as important as being book smart if you want success in life.
There are many ways to measure success. I measure it by the degree of satisfaction we derive from our relationships and our careers. I don't believe in settling for the status quo. I believe in giving your all so you can get it all in return. That's what makes love go the distance and the honeymoon never-ending. That's what makes a career rich and rewarding instead of just a paycheck. I believe the first step in becoming successful is investing in yourself with the goal of self-mastery. That's how I do my practice.
I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Counseling and Applied Psychology from Antioch University, Santa Barbara, which informs and enriches my approach.

What should a new client know about working with you?
Please be aware that I am exclusively self-pay, and do NOT take ANY form of insurance.
My style is very hands on and interactive. It's a blend of coaching and therapy. I collaborate with you to gain a deeper understanding of the root of your issues, so you can let go of them, instead of being doomed to repeat them. After clarifying and establishing practical, healthy new goals, we will create a method of implementing them in your life. That is how we will break unhealthy patterns in personal behaviors, and relationships. That is what call "self-mastery", and that's our goal.

I first sought out Dean to help me with marital counseling. While ultimately reconciliation and getting back with my wife was not meant to be, I saw the benefit of my counseling sessions with Dean and have continued to see him to help me through the process of my divorce. He is wise and insightful and has a way of prompting me to have some key realizations about myself and my relationships with others that have been eye opening and life changing for me. He had very reasonable rates for his time but i could not put a price on the help he has given me. Thank you Dean!

Dean was wonderful listener, always patient and professional.
Initially, he provided the time and space needed to get comfortable with sharing myself and my thoughts (not something that comes naturally to me.)
After a few sessions, he knew the changes I wanted in my life, even before I knew them, amd the guidance I needed to make them. He often assisted me in rediscovering these when I lost my way implementing the them.
My time with Dean was incredibly helpful. Even more so was his support to keeping the door open. He made it known that I was welcome back anytime I found myself needing a new perspective or guidance.

Dean is truly a no nonsense person. I leave each session with something specific to do or think through. I trust Dean as an advisor. I trust him both personally and professionally. Because of his skill, the nature of our conversations is always fun and friendly. I look forward to a little stress relief with each meeting. Dean has become an important part of my life. And I plan on continuing with him for the duration. I would recommend him without reservation.

Visits with Dean are always looked forward to! He goes above and beyond for his clients, and very genuinely helps us learn about ourselves and gain some often much-needed perspectives on things. He’s the most easy going and always makes visits feel like friendly conversations rather than interrogations. He’s very experienced, and eager to share what he’s learned.
