Dr. Don Rubish
Clinical Psychologist
Sometimes when things go wrong, we don’t know exactly why. Problems at home or work, health issues, relationship struggles, and life transitions can all create a sense of deep disconnect. Being listened to and understood will often increase your personal satisfaction and improve your life on a deeper level. The ultimate goal of this work and my main interest is that you come to know yourself more deeply and live a more complete and satisfying life, thereby raising your level of functioning and returning to or discovering a life of gratification and vitality.
I am a clinical psychologist with 20 years of experience, licensed in both the states of California and Colorado. I have lived in Los Angeles for 10 years and love the West Coast. Becoming a therapist later in life has allowed me to incorporate my varied life experiences into my psychoanalytic approach. I am a veteran, husband, father, and grandfather, and I have worked in many fields in addition to psychology as an instructor of tennis, skiing, and golf — and now I am a senior working as a psychologist.
My varied life experiences combined with a broad psychoanalytic approach allows me to match the best treatment modality to my clients’ needs. I have worked with individuals, couples, families, and prisoners serving time. I enjoy working with all ages including adolescents and people from all cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. I look forward to connecting with and empowering my future clients!
