Dr. Edward De La Loza

Dr. Edward De La Loza brings 23 years of clinical experience and a long history of service across diverse cultures and healthcare settings. His earliest commitment to service included an international humanitarian effort in which he worked with a nursing facility, the American Red Cross, and the National Guard to deliver over 100 hospital beds to an underserved region.

He holds a Doctorate in Education (EdD) in Organizational Leadership and Behavioral Health and applies that training to empower individuals across the lifespan. Dr. De La Loza focuses on helping young adults and people aged 50 and older move beyond anxiety, depression, and self-doubt, and he also works with clients on stress, anger management, self esteem, career difficulties, coaching, and coping with life changes.

His clinical approach blends evidence-based methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), with his own Seven Dimensions of Transformational Living (7-DTL) model and a working understanding of neuroplasticity. He practices from a guiding principle that “microchange leads to substantive change,” supporting steady, attainable progress toward meaningful goals.

Dr. De La Loza is the author of The Consumer’s Guide to Caregiver, Hospice, and Quality of Life Solutions, a book that has been praised as “a masterpiece of help and support.” His doctoral research explored mental health professionals’ experiences with youth at risk for suicide, and he integrates both clinical practice and research into his work.

Known for a disciplined, goal-oriented mindset, he has completed grueling 100-mile cycling events such as the Angeles Crest Century, experiences he cites as examples of incremental effort producing significant results. He is a licensed clinical social worker in California, holding LCSW credentials under license number 21415.
