Getting to know Rickey Bates

I have been practicing as a psychotherapist for over 7 years. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Dominguez Hills, where I focused on Critical Race Theory and Intersectionality, exploring how our diverse life experiences shape the ways we navigate our surroundings. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a veteran of the United States Armed Forces, I have extensive experience working with individuals, couples, teenagers, and adults. I specialize in PTSD, MST, mood disorders, grief, and use approaches such as CBT, DBT, Trauma-Informed Mindfulness, and Narrative Therapy to help clients identify challenges and barriers related to their concerns. I deeply respect my clients’ right to self-determination and aim to empower them to collaboratively develop achievable short-term and long-term goals. Together, we can explore how to make better use of the tools we’ve been working with, consider adding new ones, or decide what best fits your needs. Let’s figure out what is and isn’t working in your life so we can move forward in a purposeful direction.
