Dr. Lydia Shawan, Psychologist
About me
I am a clinical psychologist licensed in California, with over ten years of experience providing individual therapy, group therapy, and crisis management. I specialize in working with the chronically and persistently mentally ill population with psychosis and behavioral difficulties. I am also experienced in treating teens, couples, the elderly, LGBT clients, violent offenders, and clients suffering from addiction and co-occurring disorders. I have a passion for research into the impact of antisocial behaviors, psychological trauma, and the social and clinical implications of related disorders. By working with the gamut of comorbid mental disorders, I have developed an eclectic approach to treatment based on the unique needs of each client. I have a strong commitment to professionalism and quality of care.
Don’t worry about the fact that I don’t have many hours blocked out in the official schedule. My style is to arrange hours with my clients on a case-by-case basis that works around our busy lifestyles. Message me with some times you’re available, and we’ll work something out.
