Welcome to Health Psychology Associates (HPA).
We are an independent Mental Health Group in Southern California, with offices in Torrance and Long Beach. Our group consists of psychologists with various specialties, as well as biofeedback technicians and support staff. We have been providing services in the region for over 25 years. We offer inpatient and outpatient services for all age ranges and most areas of evaluation and intervention.
Our mission is to treat each person as a whole being. We believe that learning to integrate how we live is essential to heal, change, and grow. Practically speaking, this means guiding heart, mind and body to work together, rather than being controlled by our fears or judgments. Our initial goal is to assist each person in finding effective means to relieve symptoms, then, if they’re willing and desire it, to explore ways to move beyond symptoms, learn how to live increasingly in the present, and create deeper and more enduring happiness and acceptance of self and others. We utilize both traditional psychotherapeutic approaches and integrative mental health techniques (including meditation and dreamwork) if and when appropriate.
At HPA, we work with a number of psychiatrists, neurologists and cardiologists, as well as internists and other medical specialists. We keep in close contact with our referral sources for mutual feedback on progress. We offer individual, couples and family counseling, forensic and neuropsychological assessments and medication management. We are experienced in dealing with a wide range of physical and psychological disorders, and we are accustomed to using a multitude of approaches to help attain healthy bodies, minds and spirits.
HPA was founded by Dr. Terrance W. Dushenko, Ph.D., to provide a wide range of services, through an integrative approach to mental health care. To read more about Dr. Dushenko and the rest of our staff, visit our Meet Our Staff page.
