Charlin Lumia, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Charlin!

I believe every individual is beautiful on their own and has a unique story of how they got to be where they are in this moment.

My focus

I work with individuals, couples, and families. My specialties include ADHD, anxiety, depression, domestic violence, divorce, eating disorders, LGBTQIA+ issues, life transitions, OCD, parenting, pregnancy/postpartum concerns, relationship issues, self-esteem, self-harm, sexual abuse, stress, suicidal ideation, trauma, and PTSD.

My approach

I blend client-centered, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), dialectical-behavioral (DBT), and solution-focused approaches. My style is non-judgmental and open-minded. I meet my clients where they are at and help them achieve their goals.

My communication style

In our conversations, I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental space where you feel heard and understood. I tailor my communication to your unique needs, blending empathy with gentle guidance as we work towards your goals together.

My journey to mental healthcare

I completed my clinical hours and am currently enrolled in a behavior analysis certificate program to further expand my knowledge and skills.

My goals for you

I help you reach your goals by meeting you where you are and creating a collaborative partnership. Together we identify what matters most to you, explore patterns that may be holding you back, and develop practical strategies tailored to your unique situation and strengths.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll focus on getting to know each other and understanding what brings you to therapy. I'll ask about your concerns, goals, and what you hope to achieve. This is your space to share openly, ask questions, and see if we're a good fit.
