John Danial, Ph.D.
Psychologist in Simi Valley
Hi,
I’m Dr. John Danial
Licensed Psychologist PSY 29170
Clinical Director
My Specialties Include:
Child & Teen Psychological Testing
Autism & ADHD
Christian-Focused Therapy
IN THERAPY
I use a cognitive behavioral approach to address unproductive thought, behavior and emotional patterns. I also work from a family systems orientation to incorporate the importance of helping the entire family.
I incorporate Christian-focused therapy when applicable, where we strive to connect more deeply to God through our earthly struggles. It can be powerful to reframe our current difficulties into an opportunity to rely on God’s power as a source in finding our own strength to live a meaningful life.
Through the use of neuropsychological assessments, I am able to help you identify the issues that bring about the challenges in your child’s life.
I ultimately believe in allowing the individual to guide the trajectory of therapy and judge the progress based on the client’s ability to recognize their growth.
Education and Background
I received my bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of California, Santa Barbara and a doctoral degree from UCLA’s Human Development in Psychology program. During my graduate program, I received the Dennis Weatherstone Fellowship from Autism Speaks to complete a research project aimed at treating the anxiety of children with autism who also had language difficulties.
I have published several papers related to implementing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with individuals with autism and my post-doctoral training included working at an Intensive Outpatient Program at a pediatric clinic, where I provided treatment to children with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and other emotional/behavioral concerns and their families.
