About Hal

Hi, my name is Hal Waite, and I'm a Psychotherapist and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in the Hollywood Hills in Los Angeles. What I have noticed in working with people over the past 10 years is that it is the natural tendency of each person to move toward health. Think about it. If you get a small cut your body will attempt to heal from the wound. The same is true of your mind and spirit. In my Psychotherapy Practice, I invite you as a whole person to move toward your natural tendency to heal your Body, Mind and Spirit.

I studied Psychology at Antioch University, graduating with a Masters Degree in 1998, and I have a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) from Pepperdine. I also have advanced specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and Somatic Experiencing (SE). Both of these therapies are cutting edge holistic techniques that work well with reducing anxiety, depression, PTSD and trauma symptoms. I also am a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist and have prior experience in a residential treatment center working with all addictions and the underlying trauma beneath those addictions.

In my private practice, I offer individual, couples and group therapy, and I focus my attention on helping people achieve their goals.
