About
I'm Henry Venter, a licensed psychologist (CA Psychologist PSY18428) with over 25 years of experience. My approach to therapy is practical and focused on empowering clients to achieve their desired life. My approach My therapeutic method combines elements of client-centered therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and psycho-dynamic principles into a cohesive approach. My ultimate goal is to help clients grasp the therapy process and equip them for a brighter future. My focus My clients span various age groups, from young adults to older individuals, who come seeking help with challenges that hinder their desired quality of life. I am most effective with clients who actively engage in therapy, willingly process information between sessions, and complete assigned tasks. My communication style My communication style is approachable and conversational, making it easy for clients to understand their issues and their origins. My journey to therapy In my mid-20s, I personally experienced the transformative power of counseling, leading me to commit my life to this work. I am passionate about counseling and derive joy from helping clients discover solutions to their problems and witnessing their growth. Nobody is perfect, and at times, we all require assistance. No one should navigate their problems in isolation. I regard counseling as an undiscovered gem within human functioning, and it is unfortunate that many miss the opportunity to work with a therapist who can guide them on their journey toward resolving their challenges. This is your opportunity and I trust that you will embrace it. My goals for you I tailor our sessions to begin where the client feels most comfortable, typically by identifying three specific goals. Together, we define what changes they wish to make, how these changes will unfold, how their lives will improve, and what obstacles may arise. My first session with you During the initial session, clients share their unique stories and reasons for seek
