ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Lancaster, CA

Hello, I'm Kathy-Ann Dougan, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California, and a Christian life coach. My faith isn't separate from my work — it's the foundation of it. I utilize brief and longer-term evidence-based clinical methods alongside an awareness of our spiritual humanness. Areas of attention for clients may be anxiety, relational struggles, life transitions, and pain that often goes unspoken. Some come needing to be heard & understood; others, with areas around acceptance & attention, care or lack of care, needing solutions, and desiring answers — courage to face what's presently occurring & things of the past — faith to believe again, forgiveness & needing to forgive, friendship, support, protection, purpose, and peace, strength, resolving differences, establishing healthy boundaries, and other problem areas of life. Scripture is the infallible, immutable Word of God. And life can try to bring unanswered questions, no solutions, fear-based insurmountable challenges, ineffective change when seeking effective results. Well it's a new day — Once I wrongly believed Scripture was merely words on pages, until I came to know & experience Christ as living truth. I bring both professional training and honest, unpretentiousness into every session. I'd be honored to support you through your process towards healthy change & finding solutions.

My patients can expect me to be warm, empathetic, and genuinely interested in their story. I take time to understand not just current struggles, but also personal history and experiences that have shaped who they are. I believe that mental health is deeply connected to overall health, and treating psychiatric conditions can positively impact all areas of life. I work with all patients and conditions, and I always meet people where they are. If someone isn’t ready for medications, I fully support their choice and will be there to provide guidance, education, and care until the time feels right for them. Above all, I listen, I value each person’s perspective, and I aim to create a safe space where patients feel truly heard.

I'm John, a licensed psychologist practicing in Utah and California. I started out in information technology because I loved computers and making sense of data, but over time I found I enjoyed working with people more than working with machines, so I went back to school and earned my doctorate in clinical psychology (PsyD). Since then I have worked in counseling centers, outpatient clinics, hospitals, and schools, and I have really enjoyed applying the science of psychology to help people understand themselves and navigate the challenges of everyday life. I see teens, young adults, adults, and older adults for concerns including depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, life transitions, relationships, men's mental health, and questions of religion and spirituality.
