Some of his favorite clients to work with include couples in therapy together, and helping parents and  kids navigate mood swings from anger to sadness.

Dr. Short has had the opportunity to work in a wide variety of settings including  Santa Rosa Junior College Student Therapy Center, Claybank Jail, and The Ananda Institute providing individual couples, family, group, and child therapy, while concurrently working for years at a non-profit servicing those with severe psychopathology. He has lead dozens of county mandated COPE seminars for parents on how to protect children and parents in a divorcing household and has co-led dozens of court mandated Domestic violence groups.
