Dr. McMullin spent her graduate training at PGSP-Stanford Psy.D. Consortium, specializing in research-supported treatment of children, adolescents, and young adults.  She worked within a variety of clinical settings for youth, including residential treatment, schools, and medical clinics, treating children, teens and young adults with attentional, behavioral, autistic spectrum, learning, mood, and anxiety disorders.  Dr. McMullin’s work led her to become an advocate for youth with both learning and psychological disabilities.  She also contributed to Dr. Hans Steiner’s research at Stanford Medical School on the cause and treatment of behavioral/attentional disorders.

During her internship, Dr. McMullin worked within a children’s hospital where she utilized health psychology techniques to aid in medical treatment adherence, adjusting to newly diagnosed chronic illnesses, and providing mental health support to reduce physical symptoms of disease.  The connection between the mind and body is quite strong, and she witnessed the pronounced effect of integrating psychotherapy into medical regimens of youth with chronic illness.  She furthered her health psychology interest by working as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Southern California within the Disability Services Program and College Counseling Center.  There she worked with college and graduate students with anxiety, adjustment, depression, and academic problems and advocated for students with disabilities throughout campus.

In her practice, Dr. McMullin specializes in providing individual and family therapy for adolescents, young adults, college students and children.  Her therapeutic approach takes the unique needs of the individual into consideration.  She integrates cognitive-behavioral therapies, mindfulness, and client-centered approaches to psychotherapy into therapeutic work and utilizes a family systems approach to family therapy.  In addition to providing psychotherapy, she conducts psychological testing/evaluation for IEPs and disability diagnoses.

Dr. Bradley specializes in psychotherapy and hypnosis in the treatment of adolescents, adults and couples.

Drawing on her extensive clinical background and life philosophy, Dr. Bradley takes a humanistic/holistic approach, wherein she integrates psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral elements to help clients learn healthy coping skills, strengthen emotional resilience, improve relationships, and to resolve problems to live a healthier, happier, and more fulfilling life. "I believe that, at the unconscious level, each of us has a deep understanding of what our unique purpose is (i.e. a true sense of self). However, through conditioning, life circumstances, cultural/societal expectations, and many other variables, there has grown a great disconnect between the way we are and who we truly want to be. As a facilitator, I will help you navigate through the process of self-discovery, self-understanding and self-acceptance, so that you can once again experience the ultimate state of well-being."

Dr. Bradley has developed a particular strength in helping clients in crisis situations. In addition to psychotherapy, she has found the use of hypnosis to be especially beneficial to help reduce stress and anxiety, improve pain management, reinforce sobriety, enhance performance, and facilitate the grieving process. She has found relaxation and visualization techniques to be quite helpful in improving psycho-social/emotional functioning following a crisis experience.

Dr. Hammoudeh is a graduate of the Adler School of Professional Psychology, with a Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology. She is currently a licensed clinical psychologist in the State of California. Her theoretical orientation is psychoanalytic, incorporating the teachings and philosophies of Carl Jung into her practice. Utilizing Jungian theory allows Dr. Hammoudeh to understand and treat the human condition from a depth-oriented and holistic perspective. Emphasis is placed upon attaining insight into how our unconscious minds affect how we perceive ourselves, perceive others, and the way in which we live our lives. Thus, self-actualization is a core goal of therapy.

The majority of Dr. Hammoudeh’s experience has been trauma-focused with children and adolescents. In addition to practicing Jungian theory, she incorporates art and play therapy into her practice. The methods of art and play therapy encourage the expression of emotions and thoughts that may be too difficult to verbalize or that children/adolescents are unable to verbalize. Expression in such a medium provides inner healing on many levels. Art therapy can also be beneficial with adults, again, by allowing the free expression of emotions. Dr. Hammoudeh’s experience has not been limited to solely treating children, however, as she has worked with adults of all ages, as well. She has practiced in environments ranging from outpatient mental health clinics to rehabilitation/nursing facilities.

Dr. Hammoudeh believes in incorporating an individualistic approach to her practice by taking into consideration the unique qualities and needs of each individual. By understanding each individual’s distinct experiences, holistic healing can be attained, and the potential for self-actualization grows.
