Meet Ludmila

I have been trained and licensed in the state of California. In my 20+ years working as a California Licensed Psychologist, I have successfully worked with children, adults, veterans, and developmentally disabled individuals. In providing the initial assessment and therapy, my goal is to develop a unique treatment plan for you. This is vital in order to work through barriers and traumas. This work can lead to significant symptom reduction, personal growth, and self-actualization.

My goal is to develop a unique treatment plan for you.
