Colleen Riedell, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Colleen!

I see therapy as an opportunity to have a compassionate ear to listen to and support exploring things you want to change or struggle with.

My focus

I work with couples and individuals. I treat folks struggling with relationship issues, and mood disorders including depression and anxiety, trauma and addiction, and family dysfunction.

My approach

I use a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, and the concepts of attachment, addiction, and trauma recovery.

My communication style

I try to have the therapy built on a relationship between us, one developed with a mix of honesty, compassion, and support, to allow you to do what you need to to make the changes you want.

My journey to mental healthcare

I enjoy people, supporting folks making changes, and at times, working toward solving problems. I am encouraged by the courage of others to face struggles, grow, and change, and believe deeply that people are capable of change.

My goals for you

I expect that together we can identify goals to work on in therapy, based on what is working and what is not.

Our first session

The first session is the time to get acquainted and begin to unfold the work that therapy will be, looking at strengths and challenge areas, and considering strategies to address concerns.
