Getting to know Joseph Malancharuvil
My name is Joseph Malancharuvil (you may call me Dr. Joseph). I am a Doctor of Clinical Psychology, licensed in California and Board Certified by the American Board of Professional Psychology. I served as the Chief of Psychology at one of the largest mental facilities in California. I have treated a large number and variety of patients over the last 30 years both in an inpatient and outpatient setting.
My approach
I am committed to utilizing the best-suited therapeutic approach to help my clients to a speedy recovery. I am trained in a variety of therapeutic approaches such as psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, existential, psycho-biological, etc. I treat individuals and couples for a variety of emotional and relational issues. I specialize in short-term psychotherapy.
My focus
In independent practice, I treated individuals, couples, and families for a variety of psychological conditions such as integrating traumatic experiences, anxiety, depression, family conflicts, grief reactions, personality disorders, etc. In inpatient hospital setting, I specialized in treating severe mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder and Schizophrenia.
My communication style
Over the last 30 years of clinical practice, my clients reported that they felt very comfortable with my clear and precise, non-judgmental, accepting style of communication. My approach is goal-oriented and is measured in terms of achieved results. I explain to the clients what to expect out of the psychotherapeutic process and the method we employ together in the process. My therapeutic style is entirely collaborative and very respectful of the autonomy of my clients.
My journey to mental healthcare
My interest in psychology and mental health started at the undergraduate level. With considerable passion, I pursued my doctorate in clinical psychology at Loyola University of Chicago and completed an additional post-doctoral fellowship in developmental disorders.
