Lois Dasaro

Lois N. Dasaro, Ph.D., is a dedicated psychologist based in Santa Monica, California. She believes that psychotherapy serves as an essential aid in navigating the complexities of life, which often oscillates between pain and joy. Lois emphasizes that suffering need not be an inevitable part of existence, and with the right support, individuals can transmute their struggles into growth. She understands that while friends and family offer valuable support, the therapeutic relationship presents a unique dynamic that fosters neutral exploration of one's challenges. Each therapy journey begins with Lois guiding clients through an examination of the issues they seek help with. Frequently, relationships play a significant role in these concerns, as they are fundamental to human experience. Through thoughtful listening and observation, Lois assists clients in identifying previously unnoticed aspects of their lives. Together, they will uncover how problems manifest and explore their origins, focusing on the influences of emotions throughout the process. Lois is committed to collaboratively constructing a personalized plan to facilitate change, helping individuals understand and transform the ways in which their thoughts and feelings may have become static over time.
