I was born in Iran, grew up in England, and reside in beautiful Southern California. I am Alex Karimi, PhD.
My life has been an amazing journey. I’ve enjoyed every minute of it and now I want to help others do the same.
Filmmaker, Engineer, Psychotherapist
Flexibility has been one of my greatest assets. Over the years I’ve proved that you don’t have to be satisfied with one successful career, one line of education, and one line of work.
I use the same principle in my therapy. People are different. Their problems, needs, and circumstances are different. For this reason, I use different methods and Psychological Orientations. But above all, I’m a Humanistic/Existentialist who will tell the clients the truth about themselves. I am solution-focused and use motivational interviewing to help my clients find the goals they never knew.
I do not pacify my clients with “feel good” verbiage, but help them by telling them where the change needs to take place. Once a goal has been set, I help them at every step of the journey to full recovery.
I provide counseling at my Santa Clarita office centrally located and convenient for all the SCV residents. I am the founder and currently the clinical director of SCV Counseling Center.
