Arsalan Malik, MD

Dr. Arsalan Malik is a psychodynamic psychiatrist in private practice in Santa Monica and West LA in addition to his role as Clinical Instructor, UCLA Department Of Psychiatry And Biobehavioral Sciences. He completed his residency in psychiatry at the Menninger Clinic and Baylor College of Medicine. During that time he served as the on-site chief resident of the Menninger Clinic where he specialized in addressing the complex medical, psychiatric and substance use difficulties of high achieving individuals no longer functioning successfully in the workplace and/or at home. He developed his special interest and expertise in the treatment of mood and co-occurring personality disorders at this time using a comprehensive and integrated, multidisciplinary treatment approach. This comprised psychoanalytically informed hospital psychiatry, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mind Body medicine, and Psychodynamic Individual and Group Therapy. Dr Malik also holds a Clinical Fellowship in Adult Psychodynamic Psychotherapy from the Center For Psychoanalytic Studies.

"I follow an evidence-based practice, but also recognize the limitations of the current medical and psychiatric research model to explain complicated mind-brain phenomena. Generalizability of findings from ideal study populations to the individual is also not always apparent. Overall, I have found medications help, but are rarely the only solution for individuals. Psychotherapy seems to have gone from being the rule to being relegated to the backburner as drugs occupy an increasingly pivotal role in patient care. I endeavor to find a middle road paved by plain old psychotherapy, in addition to biological treatment methods including medications, to help my patients find deeper meaning in their lives and their symptoms, and satisfaction in their relationships."

Maureen Duffy, PhD

Maureen Duffy is a professor of counseling and family therapy and a practicing couples and family therapist. She is highly regarded in the marriage and family therapy world and is on the editorial boards of The Journal of Marital and Family Therapy, The Family Journal, and The Journal of Systemic Therapies.

She is the author of numerous publications in family therapy and qualitative research and her current interests are in the areas of positive psychology, applications of neuroscience to clinical work with couples and families, neurofeedback, and group behavior in the workplace.

Maureen is fascinated by how the brain is shaped by what we think and do and by how often we think and do it. She takes very seriously the fact that the brain changes throughout life and that the direction of those changes is influenced by the quality of our relationships, our behaviors, and our thoughts and feelings. Maureen is personally and professionally committed to breaking the link between the diagnosis of a mental illness and the taking on of the traditional identity of a mentally ill person. She believes that mood disorders like bipolar and major depression are brain disorders, not personal identities, and not primary careers. Her work also extends, with humor and compassion, to the parents and friends and families of those diagnosed with mood disorders.

As an experienced therapist for over 20 years, I have helped clients suffering from a range of issues including: anxiety, mood disorders, depression, life transition, and relationships.

Prior to my private practice, I was employed at a Family Service Agency where I facilitated women's therapy groups, bereavement groups and provided therapy to individuals, couples and families.

I view psychotherapy as a collaborative process, and the client wants to be assured that s/he will be seen in a supportive, non-judgmental, safe, and confidential setting. I use a blend of different models suited to the client's needs. These include: Voice Dialogue, Cognitive Behavior, Short term.

I see each person fully; I create an environment that is completely safe; I pass no judgment and I answer any questions I can. If it's your sex life, or your mother-in-law, once you figure out HOW your psyche works, how relationships work, you can be the person you want to be and in the relationships you want to have. People in healthy relationships simply live longer, better lives. I also help create Ethical Wills so clients can share their life's wisdom with loved ones even after death.

Patrick Day

Patrick is a life coach to those who are depressed and those who care about them. He has a Master's Degree in English Literature and another Master's in Developmental Reading. After leaving a career in education as a dean of instruction for a college, he went into five years of depression that ranged from moderate to major and for a time one step beyond major. It is this experiential familiarity with depression, as well as taking Tom Wootton's 38-hour Bipolar in order suite, that make him a successful coach for those in depression.

Additional learning of depression during those five years came from his contacts with psychiatrists, psychotherapists, counselors, spiritual guides, and supportive friends. He is now an active NAMI member (National Alliance for Mental Illness), is a practitioner of inner healing, is involved in various depression support group discussions with NAMI and LinkedIn, and writes a blog called triumphoverdepression.org, for which he does much research on depression.

Patrick has written a book called Too Late in the Afternoon: One Man's Triumph Over Depression, which can be found on amazon.com and other on-line book sites. It was when this book was published that he stepped out of the black box of depression and into eventual stability, greatly aided by the teaching of Tom Wootton, whose holistic approach to turning depression and bipolar disorders into depression and bipolar in-orders brought him into a place where he can now master depression instead of depression mastering him.

He feels blessed by his triumph over depression and has become a coach to be a blessing to others.
