About

L. Alan Wager, LMFT approaches therapy with a firm belief that the primary goal is not change for its own sake, but rather uncovering one's authentic self by discarding false beliefs. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Wager specializes in treating individuals, couples, and families, drawing from evidence-based psychological theory while also incorporating influences from Eastern and Western philosophy and faith traditions.

Wager's therapeutic process is rooted in the concept of "ἀλήθεια" (aletheia), which he describes as the uncovering or revealing of truth. He views therapy as a journey, a process of walking alongside clients as they explore their inner world, build courage, and face their struggles and challenges. This approach is particularly evident in his work with adolescents, where he helps teens navigate the complex transitions and pressures of their formative years.

In his Corona, California-based practice, Wager offers a range of services including individual therapy, adolescent counseling, secular therapy, and trauma treatment. He emphasizes the importance of relationship in successful therapy, providing a safe and non-judgmental environment where clients can challenge negative beliefs about themselves. Wager's commitment to a secular practice allows him to acknowledge and respect clients' own beliefs while applying science-based interventions.

Wager's educational background includes a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology, obtained in 2006. He became licensed to practice as a Marriage and Family Therapist on May 10, 2011, after completing his internship under the supervision of a licensed therapist. However, Wager believes his most valuable training comes from his own life experiences and personal struggles, which he leverages to provide therapy that connects to real-world experiences.

With a practice open to clients aged 14 and older, Wager tailors his therapeutic approach to each individual's needs. He primarily employs Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) but blends in other complementary modalities such as humanistic (client-centered) therapy, mindfulness practice, and psychodynamic approaches. Wager offers both in-person sessions at his Corona office and telehealth options, accommodating the diverse needs of his clients with appointment times ranging from 10 AM to 7 PM on weekdays and select Saturdays.

L. Alan Wager, LMFT stands out for his commitment to truth-seeking in therapy, his integration of diverse philosophical influences, and his firmly secular yet respectful approach to clients' beliefs. His practice offers a space where individuals, couples, and families can embark on a journey of self-discovery, guided by a therapist who believes in the intrinsic worth of every person and the power of uncovering one's authentic self.
