Harold Ames, LCP

Harold Ames, LCP

Psychologist
CA
Hi there, I'm Harold! Hello, I'm Dr. Harold Thomas Jr. Ames IV, a licensed clinical psychologist in California, Texas, and Hawaii, with certification as an Industrial/Organizational psychologist. I earned my PhD in Psychology from Capella University and hold a Bachelor's from Texas Tech University. I take a comprehensive approach to therapy, integrating evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and trauma-informed care, drawing on my experience treating adjustment issues, chronic mental health conditions, and co-occurring disorders. My practice focuses on individualized treatment through a culturally sensitive lens, with expertise in crisis intervention, behavioral health, and workplace psychology. My approach My therapeutic approach is integrative and evidence-based, drawing primarily from CBT, DBT, and humanistic psychology. I tailor treatment to each individual's needs while maintaining a trauma-informed and recovery-based perspective. I use motivational interviewing alongside CBT and DBT skills to help clients identify and work toward goals. My background in existential and humanistic psychology informs my practice, addressing both symptoms and deeper questions of meaning and purpose. Influenced by my experience in crisis intervention and co-occurring disorders, I emphasize a multisystemic approach considering how family, work, and community affect mental health. This perspective helps clients develop practical coping strategies and deeper insight into their patterns and relationships. Having worked extensively in clinical and organizational settings, I also understand how workplace dynamics and life-work balance impact mental health.
