The Nightingale Center is a psychotherapy practice established by Dr. Lois Nightingale in Yorba Linda in 1990. The center provides brief, results-oriented therapy for individuals and families facing personal, relationship, and life challenges. Its approach focuses on practical solutions: clients work with the therapist to define concerns, develop an individualized plan, build skills, and put new strategies into practice. Support may include research-based information, communication techniques, between-session assignments, and referrals to relevant self-help resources. The center reports that many clients attend six to twelve sessions, typically starting with weekly appointments and spacing them out as treatment progresses.

Services address concerns including depression, anxiety, grief, relationship and communication difficulties, parenting and behavioral issues, divorce recovery, addictions, stress, postpartum challenges, eating disorders, ADHD, trauma, and major life transitions. Dr. Nightingale also writes self-help books for children and parents, speaks at conferences, contributes to publications, and conducts psychological testing for children and adults. Her book It’s a Bedroom not a Boardroom explores communication for ambitious couples.
