Dr. Steven Degelsmith, LMFT, PhD

Dr. Steven Degelsmith, LMFT, PhD

Psychologist
CA
Greetings! I'm Dr. Steve. My name is Steven Degelsmith, and I am a licensed psychotherapist based in Los Angeles. I earned my LMFT license in 1986, and four years later, I completed my Ph.D. in Psychology at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. Since then, I have had the privilege of working with a wide spectrum of people in need of mental health treatment for various conditions. My approach I use a blend of cognitive-behavioral therapy mixed with humanistic existential undertones, which I believe fosters a positive therapeutic relationship and helps clients progress toward their desired outcomes. My focus I work with adults of all races, religions, and lifestyle choices. My broad experience gives me a strong foundation to work effectively with adults aged 18-80 who are adversely impacted by anxiety, stress, depression, and chronic illnesses such as diabetes, fibromyalgia, and MS. My communication style My communication style is open, attentive, and engaging. I believe listening is 51% of the communication process. Helping my clients explore their own struggles and solutions through thoughtful questions is the foundation of my interaction. My journey to therapy I began my work as a counselor in recreation, after-school childcare programs, day camps, and residential summer camps. Knowing I wanted to work with people, advancing my education to become a licensed professional led me into the mental health field. My goals for you I follow the phrase, "Begin with the end in mind" (Stephen Covey), and incorporate that into the focus and direction of the therapeutic process. We will discuss your desired outcomes in the first session. My first session with you The first session is our opportunity to learn about one another—for you, to understand my style and approach, and for me, to explore what brings you into therapy. We will identify goals and set the pace for our work together.
