Arthur Belmont, LMFT, LMFT, LMFT, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Arthur!

For more than 20 years, I’ve used Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help individuals create lasting, positive change. My practice focuses heavily on guiding clients through anxiety, depression, and anger, and I am proud to offer dedicated, specialized care for members of the LGBTQI+ community.

My focus

I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, anger, and trauma, as well as military and LGBTQI+ issues.

My approach

I help elevate mood, reduce anxiety, and improve overall functioning by increasing coping skills using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy (SFT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) interventions.

My communication style

I use verbal and non-verbal methods to help you overcome emotional or psychological distress. My style is interactive and challenging yet positive and compassionate.

My journey to mental healthcare

I received my Master's degree in Counseling and my Bachelor's degree in Communications. My path to therapy was driven by a passion for helping people create meaningful change in their lives.

My goals for you

I will help you create new ways of thinking to improve your mood, relationships, and life circumstances.

Our first session

In the first session, I will try to get an understanding of the situation that brought you to therapy, including current symptoms and relevant historical information. I will give you some tangible exercises or information at the end of the session that you can practice or use.
