Behzad Bernous, Psy.D.

President / Clinical Psychologist PSY27821

Picture
Dr. Behzad Bernous is a Licensed clinical psychologist, licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and Certified Life Coach (LC) practicing in Southern California. 
He is also a professor of psychology and teaches at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology and National University, as well as being the president of  the Bernous Psychological Services in Newport Beach, CA.
Dr. Bernous is an active member of the Mental Health Society and hosts a radio and TV show about healthy parenting on Ayeneh Organization. Dr. Bernous' extensive knowledge and experience in psychology and art enables him to be an avid observer, a good listener, as well as a creative solution finder.

Dr. Bernous' theoretical approach in therapy is psychodynamic, which involves the various forces of the mind that are in motion. This approach considers different psychological factors as having effects on an individual's life. These factors could be known or unknown to us. The goal of psychodynamic therapy is to make us aware of unknown thoughts, feelings, and desires. This way, we can develop new ways of thinking about ourselves and new ways of relating to others, while learning to be more flexible in dealing with our problems. This method of therapy allows for a new aspect of our personality to grow; in other words, it allows us to become the best person we could be.
​

Dr. Bernous provides therapy both in English and Farsi.
