Therapists in California

Hello, my name is Ella Maffei, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with five years of experience. I work with a diverse range of clients, from young adults facing self-image, anxiety, and adjustment issues to older adults navigating life transitions, aging, and depression. My goal is to empower clients to improve their overall quality of life. I am passionate about providing clients with a warm and nurturing environment where they feel safe to explore their thoughts and feelings.

I provide Psychological and Neuropsychological evaluations for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, cognitive decline, dementia (Major/Minor Neurocognitive Disorder), clearance for bariatric surgery, worker's compensation, fitness for work (e.g., security), and other employment requirements. I also provide psychotherapy for mood disorders including anxiety, depression, and grief. I am an addictions psychologist with experience treating substance and non-substance problems. I also have 13 years of experience treating post-traumatic stress disorder.

Do you walk through your day feeling anxious and worried? Do you feel disconnected from your relationships or unable to pinpoint the feelings that keep holding you back in your life? Racing thoughts, panic attacks, social anxiety, relationship insecurity. My clients come to me seeking relief from anxiety and relationship difficulties that cause them to feel like they’re stuck repeating the same mistakes and getting the same results. If you are tired of feeling like you’re living your life out of a series of habits and survival then you’ve taken an important step and I’d like to work with you.
