Craig Martin Landry

I earned a Ph.D. from the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs, Department of Social Welfare, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California (License #20416). I have 28 years of professional clinical experience working with adults experiencing a wide range of mental health and life challenges. My professional background includes extensive experience in behavioral health and health services research, including serving as author and co-author on peer-reviewed research. Clinically, I have worked with individuals experiencing stress, depression and anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation difficulties, low self-esteem and self-confidence, grief and loss, men's issues, career transitions, chronic illness, chronic pain, and sleep difficulties. My therapeutic approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Behavioral Activation, Person-Centered (Rogerian) Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Strengths-Based Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy, and Problem-Solving Therapy. I integrate these approaches based on each client's individual circumstances, goals, strengths, and needs. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I strive to create a supportive and collaborative therapeutic environment where you can feel heard, understood, and respected. Together, we will develop a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs and goals. My goal is to help you recognize and build upon your existing strengths while developing practical strategies to address challenges, improve coping, and create meaningful change. Taking the first step toward therapy can require courage, and I want you to know that beginning that process is an important step toward taking care of yourself.
