Fernando Villegas, Psy.D.
Life & Wellness Coach
About
I enjoy helping individuals who are stuck or struggling with life problems find answers to live a happier more fulfilled life.I have over 15 years of varied experience as a clinician, coach, consultant, researcher, and educator in the fields of higher education and mental health.My personal experience is what distinguishes me from other coaches. During my life, I have faced adversity, trauma, tragedy, and significant sources of stress. I’ve experienced academic performance issues (motivation and procrastination), financial hardships, unemployment, and career setbacks. I’ve also dealt with family conflict, divorce, and parenting troubles.I can help you bunch back from difficult or challenging life experiences. I can teach you how to develop healthy routines to reduce stress and cope with worry. I can encourage you take responsibility and learn from past mistakes, errors, and losses. I can help you take risks, manage fear, and overcome failure. I can guide you to distinguish between internal and external demands and maintain a present-oriented mindset. Most importantly, we can work together to create goals and strategies that match your beliefs and values.My qualifications include a doctorate in applied clinical psychology from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology, where I researched the relationship between parental education and the motivational practices of Latino parents. Additionally, I have a master's degree in clinical psychology from Antioch University, as well as a bachelor's degree in international business from Loyola Marymount University. My clinical experience includes working at several hospitals including St. Francis Medical Center and UCLA Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital. My academic experience includes working at Pasadena City College, Alliant International University, and UC Irvine.
