Hi! I am Pearl Wongserbchart, and I am excited to be part of the re+active team! I am currently in my fourth year of the clinical psychology doctoral program at the Chicago School’s Los Angeles campus, with an emphasis in neuropsychology. My passion for neurology has been a central focus since my graduate studies at Pepperdine University, where I earned a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. At that time, I was working extensively with individuals living with memory impairment and dementia at OPICA Adult Day Care and Counseling Center.

I have worked in various clinical settings, including community mental health agencies and medical centers, serving children, older adults, and their families. I provided assessments and therapeutic services for neurodivergent individuals and those with chronic illnesses. While I have gained experience with diverse populations, I found a special connection in working with both pediatric and geriatric populations.

At re+active, I provide services including psychotherapy, cognitive rehabilitation, psychoeducation, and neuropsychological assessments. I particularly enjoy working with children and older adults, as well as collaborating with families. In therapy, I draw on empirically supported treatments such as mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy to help individuals adjust to life changes. I emphasize a person-centered, strength-based, and holistic approach to care, valuing diversity and individual uniqueness as key aspects of the therapeutic relationship.

With a personal interest in the arts and training in expressive art and play therapy, I enjoy integrating creativity into therapy sessions. Art can be a powerful tool for fostering a sense of safety and self-compassion, allowing you to explore emotions and develop coping strategies for life’s challenges. My goal is to promote a trusting, supportive, and collaborative environment throughout your therapeutic journey.

Outside of work, I cherish spending time with my family and puppy. I love hiking, swimming, playing tennis, walking my dog, and exploring new cuisines. I also enjoy dedicating time to arts and crafts, always excited to experiment with new materials.

I look forward to working with you and supporting you on your journey!
