Lucy Jite-Ogbuehi, Psychologist
Lucy Jite-Ogbuehi, PsyD is a licensed clinical psychologist (PSY3392) based in California. She uses a client-centered/multicultural lens to inform treatment and creates a safe emotional space to explore identity, relationships, life issues, and emotional release, while simultaneously maintaining an open and attentive stance, and using active and reflective listening to allow each individual the opportunity to achieve healing within the therapeutic process. Dr. Lucy is caring, empathic, nonjudgmental, open to feedback, validating, kind, genuine, and allows clients to take the lead in therapy to guide it where they need to go, with her support and guidance, to obtain their desired quality of life and experience(s). She is trained in IMR (Illness Management Recovery) which is useful in aiding clients with education and skills to manage dual diagnosis. She is committed to providing the most optimal treatment based on the client’s desires and preferences. She has experiences with the following treatment populations: individuals, couples, family, groups, foster care youth and caregivers, incarcerated persons, trauma survivors, life transitions (i.e. divorce, grief and loss), relational issues (family, friends, co-worker), depression, anxiety, PTSD, substance use, crisis management, dual diagnosis, anger management, and cultural identity issues.
