See Darin's Details for:
Darin is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in private practice in Los Angeles. Darin currently sees individuals, couples, and families. Varying problems bring people into therapy, but depression, trauma, anxiety, addiction, interpersonal/marital issues, panic, and poor self-image are common heralds.
Darin is trained in various psychological techniques and theories, incorporating each within the applicable timing within therapy. Darin’s primary focus is a psychodynamic approach, which examines internal and sometimes hidden forces guiding our thoughts and causing emotional distress and conflict. Creating insight into your internal process is vital in creating a harmonious sense of self and assists in allowing your true self to emerge.
Darin’s therapeutic approach is aimed at identifying barriers to your well being and working collaboratively in creating greater understanding and coping with life’s challenges. Darin utilizes a range of therapeutic approaches such as psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral (CBT), interpersonal relational, as well as examining internal ambivalence, which is the cornerstone of dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). Each individual presents with a unique psyche, and through attentive and ongoing assessment, Darin creates individual interventions based on these array of psychological theories to maximize the beneficial and healing impact of therapy.
