Dr. Will Joel Friedman, Ph.D.

Writer (In remembrance)

Will Joel Friedman, Ph.D. is a seasoned clinician with experience working with adults, couples, families, adolescents and older children since 1976. His aim is to understand people’s challenges and collaborate in setting an achievable vision in the present. His practice is about inhabiting this present moment, witnessing and “buying out” of the ego-mind’s unworkable patterns, desensitizing root emotional charges, and gaining effective tools to thrive in the world. Licensed as a psychologist in California since 1987 (CA Lic. No.: PSY 10092), his major focus is Presence-centered therapy.

His vision for effective therapy is for clients to unlearn their learned limitations, have an emotionally satisfying and completing experience, and have the many positive, life-affirming outcomes of our work be sustaining. May this transformative work open clients up to a full creative expression of who one truly is. Free the ego, and you are free. Pause without thinking; simply look and see for yourself. He has completed a book with the working title of “Awakening to Sanity: Being Sane in an Insane World—A Traveler’s Guide” and has numerous excerpts on his website. He is on the editorial board of the on-line professional publication Paradoxica: Journal of Nondual Psychology.
