Services Provided
Dr. Janeen Locker focuses her psychotherapy practice on the needs of individual adolescents and adults. Dr. Locker aims to flexibly structure the course of treatment to accommodate not only her client’s therapeutic needs but her client's scheduling and frequency preferences. The first session will be 60 minutes long. After that, sessions can be 45 minutes or 90 minutes long, once a week or more frequently, as the client prefers. A client can choose to have sessions in Dr. Locker’s Santa Monica office or by telephone, if therapeutically indicated.
Dr. Locker does not charge a potential client who calls to ask about her services. Although Dr. Locker does not accept insurance, she will provide an itemized session statement for a client who wishes to seek reimbursement from his or her insurer. In cases of financial need, Dr. Locker may be willing to reduce her standard fee.
About Psychologists
What do psychologists do?
Psychologists help to ensure the health and well-being of Californians.
They are doctorally-trained professionals who conduct research, perform testing, and evaluate and treat a full range of emotional and psychological challenges. They admit, diagnose, and coordinate the care of their patients in both outpatient and hospital settings.
Among the wide variety of services they offer the public, psychologists conduct individual and group therapy with adults, adolescents, and children. They coach other professionals to improve their communications skills, and to increase their productivity and job satisfaction. They work with athletes, actors and musicians to develop their concentration, reduce anxiety, and enhance their performance.
They specialize in numerous fields such as neuropsychology to aid in the evaluation and treatment of stroke patients. They work with people who suffer from chronic pain to strengthen their mind-body connection. They consult with and provide expert testimony to our judicial system, offering guidance to the courts.
How are psychologists trained?
On average, psychologists have more than seven years of training in addition to their bachelors degree, and 3,000 hours of supervised practice in psychology. A year of supervised post-doctoral psychological training must be completed before psychologists take their national test and a state-administered oral exam.
Psychologists licensed to practice in the state of California have degrees in the following: Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology (Ph.D.), Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.), or Doctor of Education (Ed.D.). Psychologists are further required to take continuing education courses each year to keep their licenses current.
