Raymond Waller, LMFT, MA

Psychotherapist
CA
A necessary component of a rich and fulfilling life involves experiencing a full range of emotions. The pride of accomplishment, the sadness of loss, the security of trust and the pain when it is broken, the joy of love, and the disappointment of mistakes and missed opportunities all play an important role in our lives. We all deserve to appreciate our own successes and good fortunes, and to be able to grow through and from our misfortunes. We also all deserve help navigating through them. I began my career in 2007 at an acute psychiatric hospital, primarily in the child/adolescent unit. While there, I worked as a Behavioral Health Child Specialist, treating patients from diverse backgrounds with histories of trauma and abuse, abandonment, mood disorders, grief, anxiety, behavioral problems, anger, and impulse control issues, among others. I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University, which has provided a strong foundation for my clinical work. I have worked with all age groups-children, adolescents, adults, and seniors-including one-on-one, families, and couples. My experience includes working with children on the autism spectrum and continuing my work with at-risk adolescents. I collaborate with my clients to improve relationships with others and with themselves, increasing insight and awareness. My therapeutic orientation is eclectic, drawing from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and other approaches to best suit each individual client or family. It is my goal as a therapist to create a comfortable, safe, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore whatever may be contributing to your distress. My personal style is relaxed and informal, acknowledging and respecting your personal autonomy. I see myself as a collaborator alongside you in reaching your personal goals. I plan to continue my work with adolescents (15 years and older), adults, couples, and families.
