Hello, my name is Dr. Carla Chomka. I am a licensed clinical psychologist in private practice in Silicon Valley. My work focuses on treating adults who are experiencing problems in their personal or professional lives.
I specialize in the following:
* Treatment of mood, anxiety, stress, and personality
disorders.
* Treatment of emotional issues related to life transitions
such as:
* Divorce
* Relocation
* Loss
* Change in health status
* Change in employment
* Relationship enhancement
* Emotional resilience
* Dreams/nightmares
* Career-related testing and counseling
* I also offer some limited corporate consulting services.
My approach is very practical, nonjudgmental, and focused on helping people meet their individual needs and goals.
If you would like to discuss your personal or professional concerns and my services with me, please give me a call at (650)332-4655 or send me an email through the link below or to cchomka@drchomka.com to set up a time talk. I do not charge a fee for initial telephone consultations.
Everyone has the ability to grow and change for the better, but sometimes life's challenges present make it too difficult to do so alone. In such cases, the right assistance can make all the difference in the world.
While online information can provide some guidance to help you find the right therapist, it is often helpful to have an initial conversation with different therapists to determine which one might be the best person for you.
What should one look for in a therapist? First and foremost, comfort and ease in speaking with the person. How do you feel when speaking with the therapist? Does the therapist seem to understand where you are coming from? How much interest does the therapist show in talking with you and addressing the problems that you want to address?
Second, it is important to select someone whose areas of specialization match your needs. What are your goals, and how does the therapist respond to them? Does what the therapist says match what you want to achieve? If not, how open do you feel to exploring other ways of working on issues?
If you would like to discuss your needs and my psychological services, I invite you to call me at (650)332-4655 or send me an email through the link below to set up an initial free telephone consultation.
