Dr. Jeffrey Mar, PhD

Dr. Jeffrey Mar, PhD

Psychologist
CA
My name is Jeffrey Mar. During my 30 years as a clinical psychologist, I have worked with all ages in various clinical settings. My current focus is working with adults. I describe myself as a thoughtful listener who approaches each client in an individualized, non-judgmental manner, grounded in the belief that we all have the capacity to change. I also recognize that change can be difficult and that talking with a knowledgeable, understanding professional can be helpful. I earned my PsyD from the University of Massachusetts and my PhD from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I also hold a master’s degree from San Francisco State University. My approach While I consider myself a seasoned psychologist grounded in clinical and brain science, my professional stance is tempered with a deeply held humanistic orientation—a belief in everyone’s capacity to change and grow. My work begins by meeting clients where they are. By truly listening, I encourage clients to tell their stories over time. I believe individualized understanding is the basis for successful treatment. Thus, I do not adhere to a one-size-fits-all approach. I approach each client differently. Some theoretical approaches I draw upon include: Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT); Psychodynamic self-psychology (Hans Kohut); Radical acceptance with mindfulness (DBT-Marsha Linehan); Interpersonal neurobiology (Daniel Siegel); and Person-oriented therapy (Carl Rogers). I am not doctrinaire in fashioning a blend that works for each client. Clients bring their challenges, and I try to be as helpful as possible, drawing on my knowledge, experience, and clinical wisdom. This eclectic approach has served my patients well over the years. My focus My current clinical focus is working with adults facing important life transitions and challenges, often dealing with depression and anxiety.
