Dr. Annabel Fields, CA Psychologist PSY28382

Dr. Annabel Fields brings a pragmatic, symptom-focused approach to psychological care, helping people reduce the issues that interfere with daily functioning rather than centering treatment solely on diagnostic labels. She draws on techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy to tailor interventions to each person’s needs. With 19 years of professional experience and a doctorate in Clinical Psychology earned from Widener University in 2008, Dr. Fields has worked across a range of treatment settings and with a wide variety of concerns.

She holds a California psychologist license listed as CA Psychologist PSY28382, which identifies her as a licensed psychologist in the state of California. Over the course of her career she has assisted people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, substance use concerns, relationship and family problems, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting and career challenges, and compassion fatigue. Her additional focus areas include issues such as abandonment, BDSM and alternative sexual cultures, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, co-morbidity, communication and control difficulties, gender dysphoria, and isolation or loneliness.

Dr. Fields’s therapeutic style is consistently described as warm and inviting, and she emphasizes acceptance of individuals regardless of race, religion, gender identity, or sexual orientation. She collaborates with clients to create individualized treatment plans intended to move them from their current circumstances toward their goals. Throughout the therapeutic relationship her aim is that each person feels seen, heard, respected, and supported while working toward meaningful change.
