Rel FriedmanPsychologist, PhD

About

As a clinical psychologist I will work with you to create a supportive space in which you can experience safety and understanding while working towards extending yourself compassion, even in moments of extreme stress and hopelessness. My goal will be to facilitate a relationship built on trust and humility while I work to understand your unique story. By increasing your insight into the connection between your history, relationship to others, and self, we will help you to make the changes needed to bring you relief. I completed my doctorate at Palo Alto University, where I trained in dynamic, third-wave behavioral approached (CBT, DBT, ACT), and mindfulness-based therapies. I have experience working with complex trauma, anxiety, depression, minority stress, relationship difficulties, and LGBTQ+ individuals and couples.
