Kathleen Dong M.D. 

There are times of great loss or stress when our dilemmas and pain overwhelm us and there are times when everything seems as it should be yet we are left with a nameless unease.

 

Using a psychoanalytically based, emotionally focused approach to help you experience and understand your reactions to the extent you would like at the pace you would like, I can help. This collaborative process provides the chance for you to identify what aspects of who you are that need to be spoken out loud in what ways and to whom to build vital relationships of spontaneity, comfort, and purpose in both your work and home lives.

I studied at Brown University's Program in Liberal Medical Education B.A. '82, M.D. '85 and trained at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Program in Psychiatry '89 where I was Outpatient Chief Resident.
