More about me

Licensing: Psy.D., LMFT Years in Practice: 11 State: California

Are you having difficulties in your personal relationships or other areas of your life? Do you suspect that alcohol or substance use in your life is becoming an addictive behavior? Is sadness, worry, racing thoughts or other matters becoming intrusive in your life? If you are experiencing these or any other concerns, I would like to help you. I can do this using insight oriented psycho-therapy to encourage behaviors designed to replace unproductive actions and beliefs with a useful paradigm for living with peace of mind. I am a results oriented Marriage and Family Therapist. The Doctoral research I have completed situates me to assist you through the use of solution focused interventions designed to change perspectives using an action orientation. Improving one's relationships has been shown to improve one's quality of life and life satisfaction. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and hold a Psy. D. in clinical psychology.

As far as addiction is concerned, my Doctoral research and studies combined with an extensive Addiction counseling experience, have positioned me to blend psychological principles with classical addiction recovery philosophies. These perspectives, when combined are likely to increase a person's chances of a sustained and fruitful sobriety experience.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Great therapist. Financial situation has changed.

Dr. Z was just the right person for me. He's relatable, open and honest about his life and experiences. He's a great listener and even held me accountable when I needed to be. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Paul has been amazing and helpful. His expertise in therapy really showed. All the tips he gave me to overcome my low self confidence helped. Would %100 request to have Dr. Paul again if I need therapy again.

Dr. Paul has been a tremendous resource in helping me through my addiction issues. He's very compassionate but will also call out your BS when you most need to hear it. He's a great ally.

I appreciate a lot to Dr. Van who helped me to see where I am standing today and in which direction I would like to go. Great experience!

He helps me understand my self and is relatable for me

I highly recommend Dr. Paul Zeumeren!

Dr. Van is highly knowledgeable and professional with his clients. He identified the issues and offers a variety of possible techniques to resolve the issues. I appreciate his support and contributions into my wellness.

Dr Paul is a great therapist and mentor as well he helped me through a really challenging time and was always very easy and a pleasure to talk to. I highly recommend him as a guide through your therapy due to his expertise and compassion.

Dr. Paul has been incredibly helpful in guiding me to recognize my toxic behaviors and to, instead, respond to situations in a positive way. I struggle with depression and anxiety, and he has been willing to work through very difficult topics with me. I high recommend him!

Dr. Paul is a amazing. Caring, thoughtful and engaging.

He is amazing. He will give you advice that will help and will surely listen to you.

Dr. Paul is one of the most proactive and informed therapists I've ever had. Not only does he have your best interest in mind but also he will put in the work to make sure you are taken care of in a timely manner. He's invested in your future and in your development, and I would not hesitate to choose him as a guide for your journey.

Dr. Paul has been instrumental in my journey. His life experience, expertise, guidance and support has helped me push through personal blocks and see things from a different perspective while offering direct and honest feedback. I don't think I'd be as far along in my journey of growth if not for Dr. Paul. I can't put into words how much you have meant to me ! Thank you !

Dr.Van always helps keeps me consistent and exploring new ways to help me and my mental health! My favorite therapist I’ve ever gone to and I absolutely highly recommend him!

Great guy and really knows how to connect with the client. Very easy to talk to. Recommend anyone looking to start therapy to talk to Paul!

Dr. Paul is amazing. He's very down to earth, patient, understanding, and knowledgeable. He helped me cope with work stress and anxiety, and was a great listener as well regarding family trauma. He also taught me useful techniques in terms of coping and managing a work-life balance. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of personal therapy.

Dr. Paul is truly the best. He's kind and empathic, yet he is also very honest and helps bring light to different perspectives. I've experienced a phenomenal change since working with Dr. Paul. I started off in distress and now working my way to inner peace and balance with the help of speaking to Dr. Paul every week. I'm thankful and am confident anyone who works with Dr. Paul will also experience amazing results.

Very down to earth. Easy to talk to, and honest.

It’s just nice having Van to speak to about some of my issues. He seems very experienced in the area of alcohol and/or substance addiction and has offered great insights into my personal struggles with that. He is genuinely non-judgmental, listens, and sincere with his approach. I found him at a point in my life where I was doing so-so, but struggling with some family relationships and using alcohol as a coping mechanism. He has helped me with my sobriety by sharing his personal stories, and also some tools that have a track record of working for others. At the end of the day, the work needed to change your life resides outside of theropy, but it is helpful to have Van on your side cheering you on.

Very helpful and listens

I always look forward to my time with Dr. Paul. He makes me feel comfort in opening up and discussing my feelings. It feels like a safe place for me.

Dr.Van is absolutely amazing and gives me consistent encouragement and inspiration to work on myself even when I get in more worst of feelings! I would recommend him a million times over!

Dr. Van Zeumeren has a warm and friendly vibe, it was easy to open up and share with him. He brings experience in several areas, so he always had a good idea of what to suggest or work on. I enjoyed the worksheets and learning pages he provided, gave me structure to work on some of the anxiety I was feeling. I saw him for 2 months, and by the end felt much more empowered to handle my anxiety. He gave me tools and walked through how to control my thoughts to improve my feelings. I found our time very instructive and I would recommend him to others wanting a safe place to grow.

Great professional!

Enjoying my weekly therapy

He’s the best! He has helped me through some of the struggles I didn’t even know were there.

I very much enjoy my conversations with Dr. Paul. He has helped me with getting through a difficult time in my life, and I look forward to my calls with Dr. Paul. He provides helpful advice and challenges/encourages me when appropriate. I would recommend Dr. Paul to anyone in need of therapy for difficult times in their life.

Very convenient.. the work sheets are helpful if you complete them and practice

Dr Paul is very personable, friendly and approachable. At the same time he makes me feel safe, protected and validates my feelings and opinions without judgement or shame He is very good.

Dr Van Zeumeren responds and listens to everything I have to say. Sometimes I do want to say more but he continues to talk and I sometimes forget what it was that I wanted to say. This more has to do with the online video format if anything, though I would like more questions to gage how I'm doing in hopes that I will be able to think of more during our sessions. This is in hopes that rather then being told how to connect the dots, I'll be able to do it myself. He is a wonderful therapist though, and I trust his expertise and what it is that he is doing for me, because it helps.

I’ve just begun counseling but Dr. Paul is a great counselor. He has reached out sending tips and recourses, and has been very responsive and helpful with his messages. I definitely would recommend him!
