More About the Reliable Local Therapist
I founded Sally Hackman PhD, MFT- Counselor to help people of all ages through the power of grief counseling and other psychotherapy techniques. This has been a lifelong passion of mine and spending most of my life practicing it has definitely been worth it.
My Story
I started as a child therapist following my love and passion for working with children. It led me to the field of education where I became an elementary school teacher. It meant that I could help not just kids, but whole families. I also worked as a teacher of special needs children at Saint John’s Hospital’s Kennedy Child Study Center. I was a volunteer at Cedars Sinai Outpatient Cancer Center & Thalians Community Mental Health Center, where I developed an intense need to learn and understand better people in order to help them more comprehensively.
Beyond Intellectual Development
Throughout the years leading to founding Sally Hackman PhD, MFT- Counselor, I gathered a versatile experience and broadened my background in education and grief counseling. I learned to see how people develop, learn, and think, which helped me in more ways than one in my work as a psychotherapist.
I went back to school to pursue my love for psychology, where I studied and delved deeply into the developmental needs of children & adults. I was so passionate to start working immediately that right after I obtained my Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Ph.D. in Clinical Child Psychology, I started giving back to the community in both private and educational settings. I satisfied my long-standing interest in medicine by assisting many people with the emotional impact of illnesses, both their own or a family member.
