Welcome to our professional psychology offices in Brea, CA,  where  Dr. Karman, Psychologist,  provides professional  psychological services to individuals and couples of all ages and treatment and evaluation for injured workers in compliance with Workers' Compensation requirements.  We serve the Brea Community and surrounding area, using the most cost-effective and economical assessment and treatment procedures available to mental health practitioners.  We understand that some situations require a single session, while others involving unresolved childhood conflicts can profoundly affect adults' relationships and effectiveness at work and home which will require longer interventions.


Therapy Room

We believe that a professional is responsible for staying up-to-date with treatment developments in his/her field in order to bring the best possible service to his/her clientele.

Dr. Karman and his associates teach and also participate in regular continuing education classes as well as reading the professional literature in psychology and related fields systematically. We understand that longer-term psychological treatment  interventions are expensive.  Being sensitive to both our clientele's as well as our own financial needs is important to planning.  Sometimes a referral to other services is the best solution for all.  For that reason, there are times when an accurate initial assessment (including diagnosis and treatment recommendations) with our office is suggested even though complete treatment might be sought elsewhere (or may not be required).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Comfortable Waiting Area

We tailor our psychological treatments and consultations to meet the unique strengths and psychological treatment needs of individuals, couples, families, and businesses.  For some, a single session is sufficient to find solutions to their concerns.  For others with complex or long-standing issues, adequate treatment requires  a treatment program proportionally longer.  We respect these differences and work with our clients to develop a mutually-understood plan.

Private Testing Area 

Selected new psychological tests are added to our library to better assist us in diagnosis and treatment planning.

We use computers and state-of-the-art software programs to assist in the assessment of psychological concerns and to keep our cost down.

We also encourage our clientele to utilize internet resources to educate themselves regarding mental health issues and assist them in solving their concerns.  We have included in this site some links to sites relating to mental health issues also and update them frequently. We believe that books and other resources strengthen those who want to grow as much as possible on their own.
