Darren Blatt is a California-based Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 23 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, and families. He integrates a foundation in Art Therapy with Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to build an eclectic approach that promotes insight and practical change. Darren emphasizes a relationship-driven, person-centered process, listening closely to each person or family and tailoring the work to honor their values, perceptions, and beliefs.

Working from a compassionate, nonjudgmental, strengths-based stance, he helps clients improve emotional and behavioral functioning while empowering them to pursue their goals. His clinical focus includes stress, anxiety, family problems, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. He also addresses a wide range of related concerns such as attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, BDSM and alternative sex culture, communication and control problems, Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD), dissociation, divorce and separation, fatherhood issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, and life purpose.

Throughout his practice Darren draws on multiple modalities and prioritizes an open-minded, collaborative stance so therapy can be shaped around each client’s lived experience. This flexible, person-focused approach supports practical progress while respecting the unique context of each individual, couple, or family.
