Vera Melkumyan, LCP — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Vera!

I have a warm and non-judgmental approach to treatment. I utilize a combination of therapeutic modalities, including CBT, psycho-dynamic, and solution-focused.

My focus

I have treated clients of all ages, ranging from children to elders. I am comfortable treating individuals who suffer from mild to severe mental health disorders. My goal is to improve people's ability to function and to provide support during difficult transitions in their lives.

My approach

I have a warm, client-centered approach that focuses on current problems and how they may have been influenced by childhood experiences. I assist clients with identifying solutions to current issues and ways to bolster coping skills with the goal of helping individuals be the best versions of themselves.

My communication style

I provide a comfortable therapeutic setting for clients that focuses on individual needs. I have a collaborative approach and communication style.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I believe in the power of connection and healing through understanding. I'm committed to creating a space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives.

My goals for you

We'll work together to identify your goals and the obstacles in your way. I'll help you develop practical strategies and coping skills that fit your life. Progress happens through collaboration, and I'll support you at every step as you move toward the changes you want to see.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll talk about what brings you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. I'll ask questions to understand your background and current challenges. This is also your chance to ask me anything and see if we're a good fit. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard and hopeful.
