- Dr. Amelia is a licensed clinical psychologist in the state of California and
has worked in the mental health field for over ten years. She attended
undergraduate school at the University of Southern California, where she
double majored in Business and Psychology. She has her masters degree in
psychology from Pepperdine University and her doctorate in clinical
psychology from Ryokan College, a specialized school for psychology.
During her masters program she began working at a psychiatric hospital
where she worked for 4 ½ years, then for the County of Orange, working for
child protective services for seven years, and also doing private practice for
over ten years. She has also worked extensively in addiction treatment doing
contract work and also as director of a world class treatment facility. Her
clinical experience has allowed her extensive training and experience with
almost every kind of human suffering our world delivers and how people can
often weaken and lose their way from grace through it, allowing the suffering,
emotional pain, and sometimes physical illness to settle in. Dr. Amelia has
worked with all types of mood disorders, addictions, eating disorders,
chronic and acute illness, grief, psychotic disorders to relationship and life
transition problems. She has seen just about everything and is accustomed to
working with clients of all ages, cultures and sexual orientations. She spent
several years specializing in the treatment of adolescents and their families,
while also working with adults, geriatrics and couples from many different
cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. She has found that human
suffering does not discriminate by age, color or class, and when it comes to
us it can be a blessing used to facilitate healing on all levels of the body,
spirit and mind. She loves to teach and learn, exchange knowledge and share
life experience. She has taught parenting, communication, meditation and
anger management workshops in the community and assists The Journey team
in the U.S. at their workshops whenever she can. She plans to teach her own
workshops based on the work of Brandon Bays and guided meditation
imagery called Inner Path Work. She is currently working on her book about
the path of healing , evolution, and Integrative Psychology.
Dr. Amelia wanted to work in the field of psychology to help others heal
their lives so they could live fully and benefit from the precious gift that life
is. She felt that much of the suffering that many people dwell in and
experience is unnecessary. Dr. Amelia felt that the field of psychology,
addiction and medicine was not doing effective enough work so she began
seeking out more effective ways to help her clients heal. She developed a
practice of Holistic and Integrative Psychology, seeking out the most cutting
edge therapy and medical treatment so her clients could heal as quickly as
possible and move forward with their lives. She believes that your life is not
meant to be spent in a therapist or doctors office!
She believes it to be an honor and a privilege that people allow her into
their private worlds. A privilege that entails respect and dedication to
providing the best care and treatment available for her clients. She believes
she would not benefit her clients if she did not continue on her own healing
journey and continue to educate herself in the evolving field of psychology,
physical health and the human spirit. Searching for the most effective way to
treat the human condition, bringing her experience and knowledge back to
those who entrust their own healing and that of their children’s with her.
Through her own journey she has found that truly profound healing and human
transformation can only occur if it comes from all angles, not just the mind,
but the body and spirit as well. Not until she herself found herself faced with
physical illness combined with the loss of all one has except the truth of who
we are at our core, did she find the clear and complete path she had been
searching for that combined all these areas to heal herself and that she now
shares with her clients. She works closely with many other professionals in
the community in the treatment of her clients.
