Dr Gerald Tarlow

Licensed Clinical Psychologists

I am board certified in cognitive and behavioral therapy with over 40 years experience. I am a clinical professor at UCLA.

About Me

Drawing on over 40 years of experience, I offer focused cognitive and behavioural therapy. As a board-certified clinical psychologist and UCLA professor, I help individuals understand how thoughts influence feelings and actions. We identify practical strategies to navigate challenges effectively. Clients seeking a clear, evidence-based path will find a steady, experienced guide. My approach supports lasting change, building resilience with actionable steps.

Approach

Measured, research-rooted sessions focus on clarifying the patterns that keep anxiety, obsessions or low mood active and then on testing new, practical responses. In my Venice office and through secure online sessions conducted in English, I balance focused diagnostic assessment with brief between-session experiments so progress is observable and manageable. I guide collaborative tracking, short behavioral exposures, cognitive reframing and sleep-focused strategies tailored to each person’s rhythm. Adults seeking direct, stepwise work to reduce distress and build dependable coping usually find this approach helpful.
