Myla Lampkin, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Myla!

I specialize in various therapeutic modalities using an Eclectic and Strengths-Based Approach to assist women, adolescents, and children who may be dealing with life stressors, trauma, or simply wanting to learn healthy coping skills. I am here to help you navigate and gain insight through the exploration of you.

My focus

I use Solution-Focused, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Crisis Intervention, Client-Centered, and Existential Therapy. My experience includes clients with multiple traumas, substance use disorders, eating disorders, depression, unhealthy relationships, anxiety, and low self-esteem.

My approach

I approach therapy with an open mind, free of judgment, and respect for each individual's lens and experience of the world.

My communication style

My style is calm, warm, friendly, and flexible in my approach, as we work together towards solutions.

My journey to mental healthcare

I think about how much insight I have gained through therapy and exploration. Learning new ways of doing things in life to have more fulfillment and joy as you learn and grow. I want to pass that knowledge and awareness on to others who may be struggling with Mental Health issues and not able to understand how to navigate.

My goals for you

Starting where you are and setting realistic goals for what you would like to work on, change, or master.

Our first session

In our first session, we will go over how sessions will look and best practices in helping and supporting you. I will be asking questions to gauge where you are and any major stressors currently affecting you. So whether you have been to therapy before or this is your first time, congratulate yourself on taking that step.
