Positive Psychology focuses on how we can grow happiness, meaning and connection in our lives. Unfortunately traditional psychology sometimes focuses on your problems and your defeats. Its goal is to take you from -5 to 0. Positive Psychology says neutral isn't enough. It aims to go from neutral to +10.
My work is grounded in Positive Psychology as well as cognitive behavioral therapy, Buddhism, Gestalt, and the wisdom traditions. Q: What one choice you make will have the greatest impact on your happiness throughout your entire life? The last two decades have brought a wave of major new discoveries about how couples create successful relationships.

I became a therapist because I have a lifelong interest in personal development, relationships, and spiritual growth. I don't think therapy should take a long time. You should see positive changes very soon. My work is grounded in Positive Psychology as well as cognitive behavioral therapy, Buddhism, Gestalt, and the wisdom traditions.
I am happy to meet you here and know that something is drawing you to the possibilities of therapy, a process in which two people collaborate on behalf of the understanding, fulfillment, and flourishing of one.
Whether you are harboring unspoken hopes of yourself and your life; are hungry for new experience; missing out on love; postponing your passions; unhappy about aging; paralyzed by anxiety; blocked creatively; heartbroken; or eager to fulfill your fondest dreams, you are not alone.

Think of the most precious treasure. A treasure that all women and men have yearned for. That is what happiness is. Without it, nothing we have is worth much. The good news is you can really make breakthroughs here. This is a special area of interest for me. I taught Positive Psychology at UCLA's med school.
You have come to the right place. I founded the Positive Psychology Center of LA and taught positive psychology in the med school at UCLA. Positive psychology is the science of well-being, a burgeoning area of study. If we work together I will teach you how to harness your strength and use it to change your life.
You shouldn't be alone. No one should. Wedding cakes have two people standing on the top because life is way better with the right person than alone. Life is not about having fun by yourself. But finding true love, that's what life is all about! You're not the problem, it's your inner game that's probably sabotaging your relationships.

Dr Drimmer provided us a with a comfortable and effective beginning to marriage counseling. We have been married 36 years and our poor communication styles were in serious need of an overhaul, on both sides of the fence.
As the wife, I had done a lot of self work on my own with a therapist, but we had never gone to counseling together, nor had my husband ever gone to a therapist on his own. I was thrilled when I did an internet search and found that Dr John Drimmer had established the Positive Psychology Center of Los Angeles. Knowing that our sessions would be geared toward positive solutions
