My name is Lucy M. Meza, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with over eight years of experience providing mental health services. I began my career working in outpatient settings within nonprofit community programs, where I supported individuals and families navigating a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. This foundation has deeply shaped my commitment to accessible, compassionate, and culturally responsive care. I work with children, adolescents, families, individuals, and couples, offering therapy in both English and Spanish to ensure that clients from diverse backgrounds—especially within the Latinx community—feel seen, heard, and understood. My approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with spiritual reflections, supporting clients in reconnecting with their inner higher Self, discovering how to practice self-love, and building healthy, meaningful relationships. I specialize in helping clients address concerns such as trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, communication difficulties, behavioral challenges, and relationship issues. Whether I’m working with a child, a couple, or an entire family, my goal is to create a warm, safe, and culturally sensitive space where healing feels possible and growth feels natural. I approach therapy through a lens of compassion, spirituality, and self-love—honoring each person’s story and inner wisdom. I believe that true healing happens when we reconnect with ourselves, our roots, and the people we love. To meet the needs of today’s busy families, I offer both flexible telehealth and in-person sessions in a welcoming environment. Whether you’re seeking guidance for your child, hoping to strengthen your sense of self-worth, or longing to restore peace and connection within your relationships, I am here to walk beside you with understanding, faith, and encouragement on your journey toward healing and empowerment.

Therapy can be a frightening, overwhelming process, yet one of the most rewarding and life changing experiences of your life. It allows you to be you, share your thoughts and feelings without judgement, feel safe, gain insight into your thought process, your behaviors, and learn to be in control of your overall experiences. Through your strengths and weaknesses, you will learn to embrace each and every experience, and you will gain the knowledge to make the changes you need to achieve your goals. You will find the power within you to bring fulfillment to your life journey. I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience helping people, couples, and families grow, and learn what they need to have a more fulfilling life experience. I will listen to your life experience. I will listen to your challenges. I will work with you on reaching your goals or helping you identify your goals in order for you to feel successful in our therapeutic process.

Hi! I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in CA. I received my Masters Degree from Nova Southeastern University in Florida in 2011. I have dedicated my career to working with adults and adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression and managing different life stressors. Making the decision to start therapy and recognizing that you want to make changes in your life is a big step and my goal is to create a safe and supportive environment for you and help you reach your goals.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by California rather than a city like LA?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across California from San Francisco to San Diego! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in California.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I’m" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
