Licensed Psychologist
Jeffrey Bruno, M.S., Ph.D.
Dr. Jeffrey Bruno has decades of experience as a California licensed Psychologist. He is uniquely trained in the practice of integrative mental healthcare. He has decades of experience in traditional psychotherapies and in alterative healing therapies. Dr. Bruno works with a wide age-range of clients, from young children to adults and families.
​
An education in General Experimental Psychology (Master of Science, U.W. - Madison) and a doctorate in Clinical Psychology (C.I.I.S. - San Francisco) connects his love of science with his practice of psychological healing. Over four decades, he has studied western, eastern and alternative forms of mind-body-spirit medicine. He first coined the term, “Nutritional Psychology,” to describe an emerging, interdisciplinary field, that has since become more widely recognized.
Jeffrey was taught and inspired by many remarkable teachers, including:

Family & Gestalt therapy (James Guinan, Ph.D., a student of Fritz Pearls and Carl Witaker)

Medicinal Herbalist & Wellness Consultant
Linda Bruno, M.H.
Linda Susan Bruno studied Art Education at the University of Toledo. During her senior year, she experienced a catastrophic injury, which left her unable to walk and in chronic pain. During her time of healing, learning to walk again, Linda began a study of Silva Mind Control. She learned how to manage her pain and to accelerate her natural healing process. That life changing injury channeled her into natural health care studies with massage, nutrition, Iridology, colon hygiene and herbal medicines. Linda has practiced and taught bodywork (massage, reflexology, and body electronics) for nearly 15 years. She instructed nurses at the Medical College of Ohio in massage therapy.
​
Linda became a Medical Herbalist through the California Herbal Studies in Sebastopol, California in 1987. Linda also spent 3-years mentored by a naturopathic doctor, John Whitman Ray. She helps people to apply natural principals of “Herrings Law of Cure” and healthy lifestyle changes. The use of minerals, food enzymes, probiotics, mostly a plant-based diet, water, and regular use of exercise and positive attitudes have contributed to significant heals in Linda’s life. She has worked with many hundreds of clients over the decades, providing holistic iridology, herbal and nutrition consultations, along with body-orientated therapies.
Linda is both a gifted intuitive and a practical teacher of the healing arts. She offers iridology readings, herbal and nutritional consultations. Also, she is a valued support staff offering alternative therapies at the clinic.
