About

unnamed.jpg

I am a licensed clinical psychologist providing psychotherapy to children, adolescents, and adults in private practice. With extensive training in child and adolescent development, I was the Upper School Psychologist at Harvard Westlake School in Los Angeles from 2017-2023.

I received my doctorate from the Wright Institute in Berkeley, CA.  My approach is heartfelt, genuine and engaged. I focus on helping individuals find relief from their distress while facilitating a space where they begin to stay with and become curious about their thoughts and feelings. As we develop clarity about our internal experiences, a newfound awareness emerges which allows us to let go of negative patterns and discover a greater capacity to think and feel more fully.

As a certified child and adult yoga instructor, I utilize mindfulness based practices as needed. As a dancer, I pay particular attention to the way our bodies store, communicate, and process lived experiences. I honor and appreciate the influence that culture and environment has on shaping ones identity and life experiences. I tailor each psychotherapy treatment to address ones unique histories, needs, and strengths.

Dr. Wasson has provided psychotherapy at the Wright Institute, the Ann Martin Center, California Pacific Medical Center, California College of the Arts, and Notre Dame de Namur University.
