Associate Therapist

D’Anthony Thomas

APCC

✦ Supervised by

Angel Herrera

I am originally from Chicago, Illinois, and eventually moved to California where I earned my Master’s in Counseling Psychology with a specialization in Children and Adolescents from Azusa Pacific University. My background as a collegiate and professional basketball player has shaped my passion for resilience, personal growth, and connection. As an APCC, I utilize a variety of evidence-based therapeutic approaches including Person-centered, DBT, and Psychodynamic etc. to meet the unique emotional, behavioral, and developmental needs of children, adolescents, and families. I love being a therapist because I genuinely care about helping people and giving people a space to be authentic, recognize their strengths, navigate life's challenges, build meaningful relationships, and ultimately learn to love, value, and believe in themselves.
