5 therapists in California matching your needs

I am a licensed clinical social worker who has been working with children, youth and adults for the past eight years. My background is special needs case management and parenting as a school social worker. My "why" when I think about my work is this: listening to clients stories' and sitting with them in their path to building resiliency. I believe the client knows themselves and their strengths, I sit by and guide them to build insight about how they want to make changes for personal growth. I champion my clients as they build their capacity for vulnerability to develop their authentic selves. I consider it a huge privilege to do this very important work.

Hi! I'm Cristina Marra, LMFT. I have 15+ years of experience. I like to help adults and adolescents deal with life's challenges. I help mostly with depression and/or anxiety. My therapeutic approach depends upon the presenting problem and client. The approaches I rely on the most are client-centered, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and EMDR, as needed. I enjoy helping people by listening in a way that the client feels heard and understood. This then allows for better work to happen as strategies and coping tools are developed. I enjoy working with many different types of issues as we are all complex. My communication style I believe in, an open, caring, honest, and direct style of communication. I don't believe any subject is off the table.

Hello! I’m thrilled to introduce myself as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a unique blend of expertise. My practice extends to working with individuals, couples, and families, offering a comprehensive approach to healing and growth. Additionally, I'm deeply passionate about education and serve as a professor, where I not only teach but also practice Buddhist-inspired evidence-based practices. At the heart of my therapeutic approach lie two powerful modalities: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Person-Centered Therapy (PCT). With ACT, I guide clients in embracing mindfulness, accepting their experiences without judgment, and taking committed action towards a life aligned with their values. Meanwhile, my practice in PCT creates a nurturing space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and relationships with empathy and unconditional positive regard. By integrating these modalities, I offer a holistic and empowering path towards healing and personal growth. Whether you're an individual seeking relief from anxiety, a couple navigating relationship challenges, or a family in need of support, I provide tailored interventions to meet your unique needs and goals. With my background in Buddhist-inspired practices, I infuse mindfulness and compassion into our work together, creating a therapeutic environment that fosters resilience, authenticity, and well-being. My approach is not just about symptom reduction; it's about helping you cultivate a deeper understanding of yourself, strengthen your relationships, and live a life of purpose and fulfillment. Experience the transformative potential of ACT and PCT as we embark on a journey towards greater peace, resilience, and connection together.
