Getting to know Kelly Gonderman

My name is Kelly Gonderman, and I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with a PsyD from Biola University. I specialize in helping adolescents and young adults work toward being their best selves. My approach I approach therapy from a psychodynamic frame, utilizing a combination of emotion-focused therapy, family systems, and behavioral techniques. I strive to create a safe space in each session for individuals to know themselves more deeply and understand how their early life experiences have shaped their current ways of interacting with the world. My focus I have a true passion for helping adolescents and transitional-age youth, along with their families, navigate challenges to live their best lives now and in the future. I have experience working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, suicidal ideation, self-harm, and family-of-origin concerns. My communication style I aim to create a safe and natural environment where each person can be their true self. My style is warm and empathic while also being direct and goal-oriented within each session. I believe a healthy mix of deep emotional exploration and light-hearted humor often creates the most productive therapeutic relationships. My journey to mental healthcare I have always had a strong desire to understand people, hoping to be someone they can turn to for support and guidance through life’s ups and downs. While working with adolescents and young adults, I often wished I knew how to help them through their darkest times. This experience inspired me to pursue my master’s and doctorate in Clinical Psychology. I continue to follow my passion for working with this population and find it incredibly rewarding to be a safe place and balanced voice for everyone I meet with. My goals for you My approach to goal setting is to learn what has brought each individual or family to seek therapy.
