Bridgeview Psychological Services

*UPDATE NOVEMBER 2024: At present, I am accepting new assessment clients; however, I am not accepting new psychotherapy clients at this time.

Hello! I am a licensed counseling psychologist in the state of California (PSY29181) with over 13 years of providing psychotherapy in various settings, including community mental health (Kansas City, MO), college counseling centers (William Jewell College, Kansas City Art Institute, and Montana State University), a Veterans Affairs center in Leavenworth, KS, and a residential treatment program for adolescents here in California.

I received a dual degree B.A. in psychology and anthropology from Wichita State University and an M.Ed. in counseling from Wichita State University. I earned a doctorate in counseling psychology (Ph.D.) from the American Psychological Association-accredited graduate program at the University of Missouri—Kansas City. My postdoctoral tenure was at TLC Child & Family Services (a residential treatment campus for adolescents) in Sebastopol, CA.

I enjoy providing a range of assessments to help folks understand themselves better, whether it be through diagnostic assessments, personality assessments, career assessments, or fertility evaluations. I currently provide personality-based assessments for a local religious organization and also provide assessments privately upon request. In the past, I worked as a consultant with a law firm in the Bay Area to provide diagnostic assessments for survivors of the Camp Fire that devastated Paradise, CA in 2018.

I’ve also taught undergraduate psychology courses in the Bay Area, serving as a full-time visiting assistant professor at Saint Mary’s College of California (SMC) for four years, and teaching adjunct courses at Diablo Valley College in Pleasant Hill and SMC. In these roles, I’ve had the opportunity to mentor several students and provided extensive career support and advising. Training, education, and mentoring are a passion of mine in addition to psychotherapy and assessment.

As a clinician, I integrate cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal/relational, and emotion-focused approaches to therapy, with a multicultural foundation. In the context of an emotionally-safe therapeutic relationship, together we can explore thought, emotional, relational, and cultural patterns that contribute to life challenges and find ways to increase resilience, acceptance, and/or empowerment in facing these challenges. In addition, as part of my values and training, multicultural competence is a skill that I strive for in my practice. I encourage discussion of all aspects of identity (race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender, sexuality, religion, region, nationality, age, ability/disability status, etc) and view clients as affected by broader societal factors including oppression and discrimination. I also have extensive experience providing therapy to individuals on the LGBTQ spectrum, including adolescents and adults who identify as transgender. As a member of the LGBTQ community, identity exploration is a specialty and interest of mine when working with clients.

Ultimately, however, I enjoy working with a variety of concerns (anxiety, depression, relationships, life transitions, identity development, empowerment, stress, adjustment, spiritual concerns, and many more; see Services for a more thorough list of concerns that Dr. Dashjian and I work with).
