Services for Adults:

At PEAKPsychLA, we offer individual psychotherapy services to adults. We use the most recent scientific developments in psychology and neuroscience to: 1) inform our understanding of your presenting problem(s), 2) decide on the best treatment available based on the research evidence, and 3) to implement and tailor your treatment to your specific needs and goals. We also focus on a data-driven approach, asking patients to collect information (based on each patient's treatment plan) during psychotherapy, in order to better assess the effectiveness of the treatment as well as to adapt the treatment when necessary to optimize your outcomes. Dr. Walker works with a variety of presenting conditions and offers several treatment options based on her clinical training and educational background. Dr. Walker will work with you during the intake/initial sessions to understand your sources of distress as well as what you want to accomplish during the treatment. She will collaborate with you to present the best available treatment options, to discuss an optimal treatment package, and to answer any questions you may have.

1. Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

2. Cognitive Behavioral Analysis System of Psychotherapy (CBASP) for Chronic Depression
