Jorge Asturias

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist specializing in individual, couples, and family psychotherapy, in private practice in the city of Murrieta (Riverside County), California.

With fifteen years of experience as a clinician, I specialize in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, an exploratory, in-depth approach to healing trauma, addressing personal and interpersonal deficiencies, and promoting change.

I also have experience in the field of Forensic Psychology: I completed graduate training with the Los Angeles Police Department, Behavioral Sciences Services Unit, and subsequently worked as a Law-Enforcement Officer and Psychologist for the Federal Prison System. I have presented at various law-enforcement and general-audience conferences and trainings on topics ranging from cultural-diversity, grief, parenting, police culture, work-place violence and others.

In recent years I added to the breadth of my clinical training by becoming affiliated with the Center for Deployment Psychology and Star Behavioral Health Services, two agencies that provide specific training and resources to mental health providers in order to prepare them to serve military service members, families and Veterans.

I am a pragmatic, interactive, and in-depth Psychologist. My treatment approach is to provide support and feedback to help clients resolve current problems and identify long-standing patterns. I aim to work with sensitivity and compassion to help clients build on their strengths, overcome self-defeating patterns, and identify and achieve life goals.
