Helen Fower, LMFT

     Clinical Experience

 

            After graduating from UCLA, I started working on my Master's degree from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I obtained my Master's in Clinical Psychology with a specialization in Marriage and Family Therapy. I have been practicing since 2010 and have served hundreds of children, families, and adults. In 2010, I was a school therapist at a local middle school in Pasadena. Between 2012 and 2019, I worked full time at The Help Group, primarily as a therapist, supervisor, and a CalWORKs program manager. At the same time, I opened my private practice to continuously serve others with a little more flexibility. I currently work with adults treating a variety of symptoms, barriers, and obstacles, such as: depression, anxiety, panic attacks, relationship issues, employment barriers and career support, parental conflict and/or divorce, and histories of trauma and/or abuse.
