Welcome to the website of Dr. Dave Lorentzen. I am a Licensed Psychologist with a private practice in Pasadena, CA. I specialize in both adult and child psychology, as well as psychological testing.
Many obstacles that may seem insurmountable are the problems that I help people confront and overcome every day. If you are ready for a change in your life, I can help you.
When treating children, I can help with:
Building self-confidence
ADHD or other attention problems
Developing social skills
How to make and keep friends
Learning to handle conflicts appropriately
Behavior problems at home or at school
Managing explosive anger
Bullying or being victimized by bullies
Dealing with divorce
I also have expertise in helping
adults with:
Handling major life transitions
Sadness - from overwhelming depression to a nagging sense of self-doubt
Stress, anxious feelings, or paralyzing fears
Improving troubled or empty relationships
Spurring personal growth and development
I work hard to be supportive, helpful, and available for those who work with me and you can expect to have the same experience. Please call or email me to get started on the road to feeling better!
