Craig Halpern, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Craig!

I provide counseling to individuals, couples, and families. My approach is to develop a treatment plan that meets your goals and needs while making you feel comfortable throughout the therapeutic process.

My focus

I work with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, and gambling addiction. I also help couples and families resolve differences and communicate more effectively.

My approach

I work mainly from a cognitive behavioral and humanistic approach, tailoring interventions to help you understand patterns, process emotions, and build healthier ways of thinking and relating.

My communication style

My style is relaxed and calm to help you feel comfortable opening up quickly. I'll also challenge you compassionately when it serves your growth and helps you meet your goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey started when my parents divorced and I experienced the benefits of therapy firsthand. I use my personal experiences when they can help clients navigate their own challenges effectively.

My goals for you

I focus on helping you meet your therapeutic goals so you can live a better life after treatment. I'm here and ready to help you take that step forward.

Our first session

We'll review confidentiality and complete an intake assessment that gives me the information needed to develop a treatment plan tailored to your goals.
