About Dynamic Psychotherapy Center

My name is Valeria Krocak, Psy.D., and I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist. I have worked in the mental health field for over 20 years and founded Dynamic Psychotherapy Center in Torrance in 2021.

Since then, the practice has grown into a group practice made up of diverse clinicians who are passionate about providing meaningful, life-changing psychotherapy to our clients. We value collaboration, ongoing learning, and developing as clinicians while maintaining a healthy balance between our professional and personal lives.

I practice primarily from a psychodynamic psychotherapy perspective and integrate EMDR into my work with clients. I specialize in working with trauma and disordered eating and helping clients heal, develop a deeper understanding of themselves, and create more fulfilling lives.

Our practice is grounded in the belief that good psychotherapy requires time, thoughtfulness, genuine therapeutic connection, and an environment in which clinicians themselves feel supported.
