I received my Ph.D from USC and have been in practice in Newport Beach for over 30 years. I was a professor of psychology for 8 years. I specialize in the treatment of anxiety disorders and marital and family issues. For further information about me, you can read my article on dependent children online in the OC Register. Just put Hartell in the search section.My clients are highly functional people who because of anxiety are not moving forward in their lives. Often, they are in codependent relationships and their focus is on helping someone other than themselves. The focus in therapy is reclaiming responsibility for your life step by step.I am on the staff of Hoag Hospital at the Hoag Neuroscience Institute working in a unique setting of neurologists, neurosurgeons and pain specialists. Because of an interest and training in sleep medicine I have set up a structured 8 week cognitive behavioral program for insomnia and other sleep related disorders.
