Dr. Jim Gordon., Ph.D., M.F.T #12651, curmudgeon, action-oriented psychotherapist, activist. Intensely mellow, a healer who comforts the disturbed and disturbs the comfortable. A man of many contrasts. Dr. Jim doesn't look at the glass as half full NOR as half empty, but rather thinks what he could do with that glass with a good script, good lighting and a wonderful music score! Dr. G works with entertainers, celebrities, entrepreneurs, and professionals. You may have seen him on TV, or heard him on talk radio. He has been a technical advisor on a number of films, plays, sit-coms and, for fun, most recently had a featured role in the movie, "Zombie Bankers." Dr. G. has been in practice in Beverly Hills for over 20 years leading court-ordered Domestic Violence Batterer's and Anger Management Classes, as well as doing traditional individual counseling in the office. He has worked at a number of the "high profile client" Alcohol and Drug Rehab centers in the LA and Malibu areas. Dr G. is an adjunct professor at the prestigious Mt. St. Mary's College in the beautiful hills of Brentwood overlooking the LA Basin. He does inspirational/motivational lectures based on his book, "9 Steps to a Better Life". And, in his spare time, he volunteers with the L. A. Sheriff Department, doing Foot Patrol on weekends! Dr. G. supports people as they turn their lives around, approaching everyone with a sense of humor, helping them become more capable, more loving, creative, productive, and successful. "With guidance and direction," Dr. G. says, "we all have the resources and ability to become more aware, to free ourselves, to learn to manage life gracefully and productively in spite of our 'baggage, even if our baggage has become the size of an 8'x10' Storage Room!"
