Psychological Services

All medical issues involve both a physical and an emotional component. At Women's Medical Group of Irvine, we are always aware of the psychological component of health care. We now offer in-house, high quality psychological services, providing assistance for all of our patients' emotional needs.

Dr. Sharon Phelps is experienced in both the most cutting-edge therapies as well as the long-accepted traditional methods, including "rapid-eye desensitization" treatments, sexual counseling, marriage and family counseling, treatment of eating disorders, and assisting with transitional and life situational conditions. Utilizing her nearly 30 years of experience, Dr Phelps assists women as they transition through the menopause, and as they deal with "empty nest syndrome," employment stresses, marital conflicts, and "elderly parents" issues. She helps women come to terms with the emotional impact of a cancer diagnosis or the psychic effects of other serious illnesses on themselves and their families.

Many less serious, yet life-altering medical conditions also have serious psychological impact. Headaches, insomnia,  various types of chronic pain, fibromyalgia, and PMS often benefit from the addition of counseling. Weight issues also should often include psychological interventions.

At Women's Medical Group of Irvine your welfare is our top priority. Helping your achieve the highest quality of life, by attaining top physical and emotional health, is our goal.
