Therapists in California

Many people come to therapy feeling stuck—repeating painful relationship patterns, carrying the weight of past experiences that they’re ready to heal, or feeling overwhelmed by life’s challenges. Therapy can be a place to slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin creating meaningful change. Choosing therapy is a meaningful step toward improving your life and relationships. With greater self-understanding comes the opportunity for deeper connection, emotional balance, and lasting change. If you're ready to break free from patterns that no longer serve you and create a more fulfilling life, I welcome you to reach out.

My approach is flexible, client centered, and utilizes mindfulness-based interventions at every point of the journey towards healing. My therapeutic approach is tailored to each specific client. Tenets of CBT, DBT, & solution focused approaches are always incorporated. The depth oriented approaches, such as psychoanalysis, are also integrated to facilitate transformative therapeutic engagements. We will initially work on building safety and trust, which is the base of any successful therapy.

I am here for you. As a seasoned Therapist, I understand that embarking on the therapy journey can be scary and bring up numerous feelings. This is "your time" to explore, take risks, sit quietly and lead in whatever way feels most comfortable for you. I do not believe that there is one way to do therapy. If you have difficulty starting to tell your story, I may ask you questions to get to know you. I understand that just as I am getting to know you, you are getting to know me. We are mutually exploring "our fit."

I am a compassionate and collaborative therapist who values creating a safe, supportive space for clients to explore their experiences with honesty and curiosity. As a bilingual Latina therapist, I bring an understanding of cultural identity, family systems, and generational influences into the therapeutic process. My approach is trauma-informed and integrative, drawing from evidence-based practices while honoring each person’s unique story and strengths. I believe meaningful change begins with feeling understood, respected, and empowered within a strong therapeutic relationship.

Hello and welcome, I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) with a practice rooted in curiosity, compassion, and deep respect for the human experience. My work is guided by the belief that healing emerges when we feel truly seen, heard, and held—an approach that honors both the conscious and unconscious dimensions of your inner life. I offer a holistic, integrative approach that engages mind, body, and spirit. I am certified in Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy, including ketamine-assisted sessions (KAP), and provide both preparation and integration support to help these experiences become a source of profound insight and growth. My practice moves beyond traditional talk therapy. I see storytelling not just as expression, but as a doorway to transformation. Through connecting with the body and attending to the felt sense of experience, clients can shift entrenched patterns, reclaim fragmented parts of themselves, and cultivate lasting change. By exploring both the personal and archetypal dimensions of your inner world, we work to cultivate resilience, confidence, and a deeper sense of trust in yourself and in life’s unfolding. Healing is not simply intellectual—it is a process of reconnecting with the wholeness of who you are, integrating the wounded, the wise, and the curious parts of yourself to step more fully into your life.

I’m Andrea Glick, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience in psychotherapy, supporting individuals and families through reproductive challenges, life transitions, and uncertainty. I am passionate about the work I do in health care settings, where I advocate for patients navigating complex medical systems—a role that deeply informs my therapy practice. My path into this work is inspired by my personal experience with infertility and reproductive diagnoses, and wading through the challenging and emotional adoption process. I found myself inside a complicated healthcare landscape that required constant advocacy, difficult decisions, and learning to ask for support when I needed it most. Every decision felt heavy and urgent, yet there was no one who understood my situation to help make those choices. Along the way, I had to build my own village—people who could hold space for both the practical realities and the emotional weight of what I was going through. Today, I hope to be part of that village for others walking similar paths.

I’ve been working in the mental health field since 2017, and my journey has taken me through a wide range of settings—from private practice to Full Service Partnership (FSP), Assertive Outreach Team (AOT), transitional housing, and community health clinics.

I bring clinical experience, sure-but I also bring a very human approach. Therapy with me isn't about hierarchy or diagnoses. It's collaborative space where you can talk about the hard stuff without judgement, explore what's working (and what's not), and start building a life that feels more aligned and sustainable. In my personal time, I enjoy walking my dog, engaging in video games with my stepson, and immersing myself in the world of sports.
