Plena Vita Psychological Services is home to the independent private practices of Chris Stanley and Josh Wilson.  Although we maintain separate practices, we are unified under a common philosophy and approach to the psychotherapy process, as well as having recieved our training through Rosemead School of Psychology in La Mirada, CA.  We have formed two distinctive features as therapists: the first being a contemporary psychodynamic approach to therapy, and the second is an integration of Christian spiritual formation and contemplative spiritual growth with the therapy process.  While we do not consider ourselves "Christian Counselors" per se, we believe we are equipped to deal with deep matters of faith with the people we work with.  Under no circumstances must a person consider themselves a Christian or even "religious" to work with us, and the inclusion of spiritual matters is soley up to the individual seeking therapy.

In the midst of these unifying characteristics, we have different areas we have focused on in our practice of therapy.  We invite you to read through our individual pages to help determine who might be the best fit for you.  You can also read about our philosophy here.
