About My Clients
Dr. Kranz brings an eclectic approach when working with clients. This allows for a tailored strategy to meet the need of the individual. He utilizes CBT, humanistic (client centered), positive psychology, EMDR, somatic (mind-body exercises), motivational interviewing, and solution focused modalities. Dr. Kranz has worked in a variety of milieus including both inpatient and outpatient settings; hospitals, a college counseling and psychological center, Kaiser Permanente, and private practice.
My Background and Approach
I see my role as a facilitator in your exploration process. With both your commitment to exploring, as well as your permission, I will assist you in exploring and resolving your primary issue, concern, or potential. I use an integrated approach involving humanistic (presence, genuineness, acceptance and validation of all your parts that make up you), somatic (whole body awareness and education, breath, and movement), and solution focused approaches (present centered, actionable behavior change) to assist you in resolving your primary issue, concern, or potential. You can expect to feel more present, engaged, centered, and alive as you reconnect to your whole body (mind-body) and make choices, decisions, and act from your essence (core self). This usually results in improved self-esteem, authentic relationships that grow and thrive, and feeling more alive and in flow as you express your creativity.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Dr. Kranz holds an undergraduate degree in biology from UCSB, a master’s degree in Transpersonal Psychology, and a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Sofia University (formally ITP). Dr. Kranz also holds a 2 Year Certificate in LAT (Leadership and Transformation) from the Hendricks Institute where he studied and practiced leadership, life and relationship coaching using somatic principles and psychology. Dr. Kranz is also certified in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) which is a treatment for PTSD as well as performance and well-being. Dr. Kranz currently provides counseling and psychological services remotely through his virtual office. I look forward to the possibility of working with you and helping you reach your full potential.
