Dr. Gottlieb is
a licensed Clinical Psychologist whose expertise focuses on provision
of short term and longer term Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). His
training includes a B.A. at Yale College, a Ph.D. at the
University of Washington, an internship at the Palo Alto Veterans
Administration Hospital, and a postdoctoral fellowship at the Stanford
Medical School where he specialized in Health Psychology and Cognitive
Behavioral Techniques.
Dr. Gottlieb
works collaboratively with his clients, applying short term strategies
for dealing with life difficulties including: stress,anxiety,
depression, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), marriage and couples
problems, as well as a broad range of other issues facing adults and
older adolescents.
Dr. Gottlieb
understands that couches and psychoanalysis are for those who have lots
of time to solve their problems...and let's face it, not many of us
have the time or money to devote to traditional
psychoanalysis. Getting focused treatment for specific life
difficulties results in long-term changes that bring a greater degree
of happiness and balance to our lives.
Dr. Gottlieb has
worked in private practice helping people for more than twenty years,
and has trained hundreds of professionals in providing cost-effective
counseling skills. Additionally, he has served as a consultant
for Kaiser Permanente Health System, the Stanford Pain Medicine Clinic,
and many other behavioral health organizations.
