Therapists in Santa Monica, CA

Hello, I’m Dr. Corrado, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in California with over 11 years of experience. I hold a Master’s degree in Forensic Psychology and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. I am also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). My clinical experience spans a variety of settings, including community mental health centers, state hospitals, correctional facilities, and private practice, with a primary focus on supporting adults across the lifespan. My therapeutic approach is rooted in an existential framework, enriched by elements of humanistic and positive psychology. I prioritize cultivating a strong, authentic therapeutic relationship by meeting clients where they are and working at a pace that feels comfortable for them. My practice is individualized and culturally sensitive, offering a nonjudgmental, warm, and supportive environment. My goal is to help clients find meaning, connection, and purpose while gaining insight into relational and behavioral patterns that may be holding them back from living a fulfilled and authentic life. I empower clients by exploring their choices and responsibilities, amplifying their voice, and fostering self-awareness, self-understanding, self-respect, and intrinsic motivation. Taking a holistic approach, I integrate the mind, body, cultural influences, emotions, and social factors into therapy. I also embrace the healing power of humor, which can create openness and deepen connection in the therapeutic space. Outside of my professional work, I enjoy traveling, scuba diving, reading, baking, and spending time with friends and family. I’m an animal lover and deeply appreciate their incredible healing presence. Beginning therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when life feels unmanageable.

Together, we’ll work toward greater clarity, connection, and a more fulfilling life. If you're ready to create meaningful and lasting change, let’s take this step forward together!

If you desire to change aspects of your life, you can start a journey in therapy and explore the answers you may already hold. Clients often have the answers, but they just need to process them. I was taught to listen 80 percent and reflect 20 percent during a session. This is because a therapy session is all about you. It is your time to explore your fears and dreams and how you hold the key to make meaningful changes. Let's be honest, though, it is not easy to open up to a stranger. But, once you start walking, a new you will be waiting to soar.
