Gregory Schuelke, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Gregory!

I am passionate about supporting clients to heal and thrive in their lives – reaching their goals and a sense of self that brings wellness and fulfillment.

My focus

I work with people experiencing anxiety, depression, substance use/harm reduction, PTSD, anger management, severe mental illness, workplace challenges and career goals. I am interested in working with individuals of all ethnicities, faiths, cultural/belief systems, genders, and sexual orientations.

My approach

I utilize evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches, combining motivational interviewing, narrative therapy, mindfulness, art therapy, coaching and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to build tools for healthy functioning and overall wellness.

My communication style

I work with clients as experts in their own lives. I focus on collaborating with clients to identify their intrinsic strengths to build resilience and achieve the life they want for themselves.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have 15 years of professional experience working in social programs and services – including a diverse range of clients, including veterans, LGBTQI+, seniors, high-achieving professionals, students and young adults. I earned my Bachelor’s Degree from UCLA and my Masters Degree from USC.

My goals for you

I believe that developing awareness and understanding of one’s thoughts, feelings, and actions develops personal insights and motivation to support optimal mental health.

Our first session

I like to meet with clients with what they are presently experiencing in their lives and learn more about their background and goals through their own pace and comfort.
