About My Clients
I’ve worked in community clinics, the LGBT Center in LA, and dual diagnosis treatment centers, facilitating 4,000+ psychodrama groups in IOP, PHP, and residential settings. Most recently, I spent two years at an adolescent residential treatment center providing individual therapy, family therapy, and parent coaching. In-person and virtual sessions available.
My Background and Approach
I returned to school at 37 after a career in entertainment across Sydney, New York, and LA. I earned my BA in Psychology with a Theatre minor from UCLA and my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine, becoming a licensed psychologist in 2024. Dr. Rex blends his creative artistry in film and theatre with a deep understanding of psychology, specializing in adolescents, families, young adults, and adults. His therapeutic approach integrates psychodynamics, EFT, ACT, experiential methods, and mindfulness, emphasizing a person-centered and humanistic-existential perspective.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I focus on the present moment in therapy, working intuitively and using humor, silence, and deep presence to foster insight. I don’t typically assign worksheets or homework; instead, I guide clients toward self-awareness through experiential exploration. My approach is supportive yet challenging, helping clients connect with their emotions and grow in meaningful ways. Thank you for reading my profile—I look forward to working with you!
