Getting to know Joseph Sands

My name is Dr. Joseph Sands, and I am a Licensed Psychologist based in Los Angeles, California. I earned my PsyD in Applied Clinical Psychology from the Chicago School. I work with adolescents and adults facing challenges such as sadness/depression, mood swings, anxiety (including panic attacks), social phobias, poor social skills, OCD, impulsivity, anger problems, ADHD, autism, and relationship issues. I use a collaborative approach with my clients to help them strategize effectively to overcome obstacles and achieve their therapeutic goals. My approach to therapy varies according to each client’s needs. I most frequently use Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Reality Therapy, and Mindfulness. I tailor my approach not only to my clients’ stressors but also to their personalities, as this helps them get the most out of therapy. The clients I work with are seen in an outpatient setting and range from adolescents to middle-aged adults, presenting with a variety of challenges such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, learning difficulties, self-harm, and stress. I have extensive experience working with clients with ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder, as well as those who have been hospitalized. My communication style strikes a balance between casual and directive. I aim to create a safe, empathetic, and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment because I believe this is the best way to help clients heal and manage their current stressors. This approach helps “normalize” clients’ feelings and supports them in processing the obstacles they face. My journey to mental healthcare began as a teenager working with the special needs and disabled population. At that time, I was a martial arts instructor and found great fulfillment in witnessing the growth and development of individuals.
