With a mix of humor, insight, and practical psychology, I help accomplished people—executives, leaders, and go-getters—recover from burnout, navigate major life transitions, and rebuild the relationships that matter most. My job isn’t just to help you feel better; it’s to help you become better—stronger, clearer, and more connected than ever before.”

Success Stories
❝I feel more confident as a husband, my self-esteem and self-confidence are stronger and I’m even more in love with my wife than ever. We’re doing great. As a couple we are better than ever and because of the help of psychologist Dr. Gilbert Chalepas, we now have more tools to help our relationship grow.❞
❝If you prefer someone who is attentive, compassionate and direct, you will like this psychologist, Dr. Gilbert Chalepas. I’m always suspicious of therapists who have little to say… I’m not sure if they’re prolonging therapy to keep the money coming in, or if they are thinking about what they’re going to have for dinner or maybe the laundry that needs to be washed. In my experience there are too many of those kinds of therapists out there and that doesn’t work for me.
Beverly Hills therapist Dr Gilbert Chalepas is definitely not like that, he’s tell you straight what you need to hear in a kind and supportive way. I have come to know that he truly loves helping his clients, he’s very professional and he remembers you. A real treat.❞
❝Dr. Gilbert Chalepas is a terrific psychologist in Beverly Hills! I was having issues in my marriage and was worried that things were going to get even worse. I made the decision that we were in need of help and I am so glad our search lead us to him.❞
❝Dr. Gilbert Chalepas is a great Cognitive-Behavioral therapist, he’s very smart and caring. He helped me to rediscover that life can be good. He’s a blessing. If you’re hesitating, don’t wait…do yourself a favor and call his office. Life sucks when your self-esteem sucks. If you don’t feel good about yourself and what is or going on in your life, then it’s time to get the professional help of Dr. Chalepas. Thank God, I did.❞
❝I had considered going to a cognitive-behavioral therapist due to my frequent anxiety and negative thinking patterns for some time because I had read that it helped. When I finally couldn’t stand it anymore, I chose CBT psychologist Dr. Gilbert Chalepas in Beverly Hills. My only regret is that I should have gone to him sooner and saved myself, my self-esteem, improved myself-confidence and a great deal of grief and aggravation. I stayed with Dr. Gilbert Chalepas because he’s compassionate, understanding, easy to talk to and gave me great advice. Most important to me, I got results. Highly recommended.❞
I can’t thank Dr. Gilbert enough for all the help and guidance on my therapy journey. Your caring way of listening and insightful feedback made it easier for me to face my fears and discover strengths I didn’t know I had.
Dr. Chalepas, he really created a safe space for me. From our very first meeting, I felt I could open up about my worries without any fear of judgment, he was caring yet direct. His understanding nature has helped me explore my feelings and express things I kept bottled up for so long, it felt good to finally release them. Knowing that my experiences matter has truly made a difference.
Thanks to Dr. G, I’ve learned so many helpful tools to tackle my challenges and see the brighter side of things. The techniques and coping strategies I learned have guided me through tough times and reminded me that I can overcome obstacles.
Thank you, Dr. Chalepas, for always being there for my mental well-being. Your encouragement during moments of self-doubt has been a light in the dark, reminding me that progress isn’t always straight but is always possible. Your belief in me has helped me feel more confident about my future.
His support has truly transformed my life. Each step has changed how I see myself and my potential. The insights from our conversations have reshaped my view of challenges and relationships, empowering me to live with purpose.
