Hi! I'm Lanae Faciane, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. I received my masters degree from California State University, Dominguez Hills and have been practicing for 20 years. I love helping individuals and couples grow in whatever season of life they are in. I help people who are ready to make lasting changes in their lives and improve their overall wellbeing so they can show up in this world for themselves and others.
In the first session, I will introduce myself and go over some basics about therapy, confidentiality and its limits, how emergencies are handled, and other "office type" of concerns. Next, I will get to know you through the intake interview process. Finally at the end of the session we will talk about goals/ what you want to accomplish in therapy which will set the stage for our work together.
I love what I do and my clients are always commenting on how my love for therapy comes across and makes for an inviting environment for them to open up and work towards their goals.
