About Dale Rudesill

Dale Rudesill is licensed in California as an LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) and brings 30 years of professional experience supporting people as they cope with life’s challenges. He has worked broadly with concerns involving the relationship with the self, relationships with others, and how individuals connect with the world around them.

His practice emphasizes brief, focused therapy that aims to clarify problems—including emotional blocks and internal conflicts—and move quickly toward achievable solutions. He approaches issues from a science-based systems perspective that considers the development of self and relationships within the evolution of community and the natural world, and he incorporates known practices such as sensing meditation.

Rudesill partners with clients to cultivate an honest, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed and where greater self-awareness and personal empowerment can be pursued. He keeps therapeutic work straightforward and goal-oriented while attending to the relational and systemic forces that shape experience.

Please note: he is semi-retired and currently works only on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. He limits contact to weekly sessions and sometimes takes breaks to travel with advance notice, so he may be unavailable for a week or more at times.
