For several years, Dr Lentenbrink worked in Los Angeles for the Department of Mental
Health providing in home-services and assessments to connect individuals with
appropriate care. She also provided psychological testing to support clinical decision
making.
She also had the privilege to do much of her clinical training at Valley Community
Counseling Clinic in the Los Angeles where she was mentored and trained by many
prominent psychoanalysts in the area. The extensive psychoanalytic and psychodynamic
training has deeply influenced and shaped her approach to the therapeutic and
assessment process.

picture of an individual in a very nuanced and carefully minded way. This approach allows
her to hear beyond symptoms and construct a holistic view and understanding of those

themselves navigating mental health and/or addiction in a more intense manner. This
experience has taught her how to meet psychological needs on a broad spectrum.
