Services Offered

• Positive Psychology: Positive psychology focuses on how we can grow happiness, meaning, and connection in our lives.

Dr. Drimmer has taught the science of positive psychology to medical students at UCLA and is an expert in applying its principles to help clients live their best lives.
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of talk therapy that helps clients to understand and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. Dr. Drimmer uses CBT to help clients overcome a wide range of challenges, from anxiety and depression to relationship issues and low self-esteem.
• Mindful Therapy: Mindful therapy is a type of therapy that helps clients to become more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations. By developing a greater awareness of these internal experiences, clients can learn to respond to them in healthier, more constructive ways. Dr. Drimmer uses mindful therapy to help clients reduce stress, improve focus, and increase self-awareness.
• Hero's Journey Group: The hero's journey is a narrative structure that is found in many myths, legends, and stories. It describes the journey of a hero who faces and overcomes challenges in order to achieve a greater goal. Dr. Drimmer leads a hero's journey group, which helps clients to apply the principles of the hero's journey to their own lives. Through this group, clients can learn to overcome obstacles, find meaning and purpose, and become the heroes of their own stories.
