Professional statement

Warren specializes in helping men who struggle with anxiety and relationship challenges. His ideal clients often experience insecurity, fear of rejection, and communication difficulties, leading to feelings of isolation. He creates a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their emotions without judgment, guiding them toward greater self-understanding and emotional resilience.

Utilizing an integrative approach, Warren tailors each treatment to meet individual needs. He employs evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to identify the root causes of anxiety and relationship issues. His strength-based, compassionate approach fosters a judgment-free space for open discussion, allowing clients to develop practical coping mechanisms and pursue emotional and spiritual growth.

Warren's professional journey began with an undergraduate degree in psychology from UCLA, followed by a Master's in Social Work from USC. He began his clinical career at Long Beach Mental Health Center as a psychiatric social worker, where he was trained in evidence-based practices. He later joined Kaiser Permanente's Behavioral Health Department, focusing on adults dealing with transitional issues and stress. These experiences have equipped him with the expertise to improve clients' mental health and overall quality of life.

Warren conducts sessions in his Pasadena, CA office and offers remote appointments for added flexibility. His goal is to ensure that all clients have access to the support they need on their journey toward healing and growth.


Message to clients

Before starting a session with me, I understand that you may feel a mix of emotions—anxiety about opening up, uncertainty about what to expect, or even hope for change. It’s common to feel apprehensive when discussing personal challenges, especially those related to anxiety and relationships. I want you to know that you’re not alone in this experience, and it’s entirely okay to feel this way. My aim is to create a welcoming and safe space where you can express yourself freely and explore your feelings without judgment.

As a therapist specializing in helping men navigate anxiety and relationship challenges, I focus on understanding your unique experiences and the factors that contribute to your struggles. Together, we will work to uncover the root causes of your anxiety, identify patterns that hinder your relationships, and develop effective coping strategies tailored to your needs. I hope to guide you toward a deeper understanding of yourself and empower you to make meaningful changes in your life.

My ultimate hope for you is to feel more confident in yourself and your relationships. I want you to leave each session with a greater sense of clarity and tools that you can apply in your daily life. As we embark on this journey together, I encourage you to embrace the process of self-discovery and healing. I believe that with support and commitment, you can create the fulfilling relationships and life you desire.
