Psychoanalytic
Reid Kessler
Psychologist, PsyD
I’m a psychologist who works with adults, teens, and couples, and I aim to offer therapy that feels grounded, thoughtful, and genuinely human. My style is relational and psychodynamic, which means we pay attention not only to symptoms, but also to the deeper patterns underneath them—how you’ve learned to cope, how relationships have shaped you, and what might be keeping you stuck.
Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure why the same struggles keep repeating. Together, we’ll slow things down and make sense of what you’re going through, with curiosity and compassion. I try to create a space that feels safe and steady, but also honest and growth-oriented—where you can be fully yourself and gradually build more freedom in how you live and relate.
Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, or challenges at home or school, therapy can help you feel more clear, confident, and connected. I’d be honored to work with you.

Dr. Mitch Keil, PsyD
Psychologist, Keil Psych Group
We don’t just treat symptoms here, we work with lives. The therapy we offer here is personal, involved, and active. We help you get to the heart of the issues and we won’t hold back. Therapy helps people to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships, become free of old patterns, or simply find ways to process pain or memories that have kept them feeling stuck.
Psychotherapy is a healing process that allows people to not only start feeling better but gain insight, awareness, and ultimately begin trusting their experience and intuitions. We want to help you get to know yourself and move past whatever it is that is holding you back from the life you imagine you could have.
Dr. Keil has assembled an incredible team of clinical psychologists in Newport Beach. We are active, involved therapists whose life’s work is aimed at providing insight, growth, and healing for those that enter our practice. Our teams strengths are honesty, authenticity, and compassion (in greek literally means “to suffer together”). It is our goal to get you better as fast as possible.
We pride ourselves in providing the highest quality mental health care to the people in this community. We have a heart and passion for this work and care deeply for the people that come to see us. We look forward to getting to know you, understanding your unique challenges, and meeting you exactly where you are.
We have an incredible team here. In fact, we joined together as a team because of our shared love for psychotherapy and the art of providing quality psychotherapy. We are not the head-nodding, passive, always-in-agreement type. You can expect to be deeply understood, engaged, and cared for but you will also be challenged in many ways. We will be real, involved, depth-oriented, and the antithesis of the classic distant armchair professional. We don't rely on a blanketed approach and create a unique therapy to each person we meet. We often hear this praise and enjoy our reputation as such.

Oliver Drakeford
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CGP
I believe that life becomes the most satisfying and fulfilling when the relationships we have with our 'Self,' with 'Others,' and our 'Family' are healthy and balanced.
Most often, the issues and problems that bring people into therapy in my West Hollywood office result from imbalances and relationship problems in any of these areas that is impeding their personal growth and living a fulfilling life.

Dr. Joshua A. Goldstein
Psychologist, Psy.D.
So, you're dealing with life's transitions, but it manifests as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or lowered self-esteem. These may be diagnoses, but you're so much more than that. You are who you are because of your experiences, which means you already have the tools and ability to move yourself forward. You just don’t know it yet.
Finding the right therapist can be a daunting process and I want to build that unique relationship with you. I work from an insight-oriented perspective and focus on the connections between your childhood experiences and current circumstances. Those early experiences laid the groundwork and can provide blueprints to addressing the issues you're currently facing.
The difficulty can be uncovering those blueprints and it’s my job to help you discover them.
