John Thorpe AMFT – Marriage & Family Therapist

Therapy

Approach

My background working in elementary and high schools in South Central LA, Compton, and Beverly Hills has given me extensive experience working with adolescents, couples, and families. It has impressed upon me the need for creating a thoughtful and compassionate space for my clients. A therapeutic space where they can feel safe and acknowledged no matter what their world is like outside the therapy room.

Clients are the experts on their own lives. I do not believe in over pathologizing; we do that enough as a society. While theory and technique have their place, I emphasize a holistic therapy that prioritizes the client’s needs and goals. My focus is on process. A client-centered approach works to identify which therapeutic techniques resonate and which do not. I draw upon the techniques of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Structural Therapy, and Cinema Therapy. It is my conviction that this method helps the therapeutic process remain true to the client’s needs and goals.
