Finding a Therapist
Outside the San Francisco Bay Area


While our Center was the San Francisco Bay area counseling affiliate of the John Bradshaw Center, our staff enjoyed the privilege of being specially trained by John's Clinical Director, Kip Flock, LCSW (www.kipflock.com). Kip was also the featured therapist on some of John's Public Television broadcasts. While John operated his inpatient, hospital-based Center at Ingleside Hospital in Los Angeles (until 1994), there were other counseling affiliates like ourselves, in other parts of the United States, whose therapists were also trained by Kip. For those of you who might be looking for other therapists familiar with John Bradshaw's perspective on growth and healing, here are a list of those other former affiliates of the John Bradshaw Center. Feel free to contact them and see if you want to utilize their services. Disclaimer: Please note that we are not recommending any of these therapists to you. We are simply providing you with their names and phone numbers. We don't know most of these therapists personally, so it's very important for you to rely on your own intuition and sense of whether he or she is the right therapist for you, and for you to assess their competence and suitability for yourself.

Your Area Not Listed?

If you're looking for a therapist or counselor in an area not listed above, please check out the following list, organized by geographical area. This is a list of other therapists in different parts of the United States and elsewhere whom we have heard also are familiar with, and interested in, John Bradshaw's methods and techniques. Although these therapists have not been trained by the John Bradshaw Center, you may wish to check them out. Disclaimer: Please note that we are not recommending any of these therapists to you. We are simply providing you with their names and phone numbers. We don't know these therapists personally, so it's very important for you to rely on your own intuition and sense of whether he or she is the right therapist for you, and for you to assess their competence and suitability for yourself. We are not making any claims as to their level of skill or competence.

In contacting a therapist from the following list, you can ask on the phone if they're familiar with and comfortable doing "inner child work" or codependency work and, of course, if they're familiar with John Bradshaw, his orientation and approaches, and if they like his perspective. You may wish to ask about the therapist's license or credential and their specific training background and orientation. We always recommend that it's worthwhile to consider your initial face-to-face visit with a therapist as an exploratory one, a time to check out if you feel there's a good "fit" or "match." If there is, and you think the therapist is skilled in dealing with the issues you're wanting to resolve, then you can schedule more sessions together.

What You Can Do If Your Local Area Is Not On the Following List

One possible way to make contact with Bradshaw-oriented therapists is to attend 12-step meetings in your area and ask participants if they know of like-minded therapists. People who participate in 12-step groups, like Alcoholics Anonymous or Al-Anon, would be more likely to be knowledgeable about therapists who share a 12-step perspective. And, as you may know, 12-steppers are often very compatible with inner child work and an inner child/codependency perspective. People there ought to be aware of counselors who like the 12-step approach, which is another good indicator of a counselor who would gravitate towards John Bradshaw's approach. Another tip would be to make contact with the therapists listed below, even if they're not in your immediate area -- there's a good chance they may know of like-minded therapists in your immediate area. Good luck in your search!
 

You can help us keep this list up to date! Please let us know if you find that a phone number has changed or is no longer working. You can e-mail us with this information. Plus, if you'd like to recommend a therapist to us who is not on the list, please have them get in touch with us via e-mail. Thanks very much for your help!
