Emily McGrath,
Ph.D. is a licensed clinical psychologist providing individual treatment
for adolescents and adults. She received her doctorate in 1999 at the
University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) where she studied child,
adolescent, and adult psychology. As a postdoctoral fellow at UCLA, she
specialized in the treatment of mood disorders, finding ways to reduce
symptoms of depression and anxiety with strategies that are proven to be
effective based on research.
Specific behavioral and emotional
problems addressed in therapy with Dr. McGrath include (but are not
limited to): anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity,
obsessive compulsive behaviors, eating disorders, marital problems,
parenting and parent-adolescent relationships, adolescent identity
development, young adult issues (including college and career
decisions), relationship stressors (friends, family, work or romantic),
academic challenges (including test and performance anxiety), peer
rejection, sadness and loneliness, crisis management, coping with
stress, and grief counseling following divorce, death, or other losses.
Throughout treatment, Dr. McGrath focuses on helping her
clients succeed at school, work, and/or home to achieve their short and
long-term goals. She works collaboratively with her clients, building
on strengths, fostering positive personal and professional
relationships, and providing support for parents and families.
Dr. McGrath's private practice is located in South Pasadena, California,
less than 10 miles from downtown Los Angeles. |
