Dr. Gregory Western, PsyD

Dr. Gregory Western, PsyD

Psychologist
CA
My style in therapy is active. Learning skills to navigate the challenges life brings our way is a massive relief. Setting specific goals related to concerns heard and steadily aligning with the patient is the priority at the beginning. In the middle of treatment, continued focus on solutions for goals and measuring what is working becomes a focus. Seeing people meet their goals and grow toward a realistic outcome in therapy and life is an incredible experience. In working in a clinical setting for 19 years, I feel confident direction of the treatment shows itself naturally, with good questions. As a seasoned clinician asking the right questions helps me get to specific goals to be checked on the way to the end. I'm a therapist with Octave and Evernorth Behavioral Care Group. Octave is a mental health practice providing high-quality care covered by multiple insurances. Evernorth Behavioral Care Group is a behavioral health provider group in-network with Cigna Healthcare and Evernorth Behavioral Health. For my availability, please see my calendar and book an appointment with me via ZocDoc.
