Lyndsy Mirasola, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Lyndsy!

I combine Cognitive Behavioral, Humanistic, EMDR, DBT, and solution-focused approaches tailored to your specific needs. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can share your story. My style is warm and empowering, and I meet you where you are as we work together as a team.

My focus

I work with people struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, trauma, unwanted thoughts, racing minds, and low motivation. If you're seeking greater peace, confidence, happiness, and a more meaningful life, we can develop goals together and help you feel better.

My approach

I use evidence-based modalities like CBT, EMDR, and DBT, adapting my methods to fit what works best for you. Clients describe me as caring and empowering with a sense of humor. I believe everyone has a story worth hearing, and together we'll build a therapeutic relationship that supports your growth and healing.

My communication style

Sessions feel warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I meet you where you are and work as a team. Clients say I'm caring and empowering with a sense of humor. You can expect a safe space to share openly while we build a partnership focused on your needs and progress.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into therapy began with curiosity about human resilience and a desire to help others find strength through life's struggles. Working with trauma survivors showed me therapy's powerful role in recovery. I'm driven by the belief that everyone has potential for positive growth.

My goals for you

Therapy is a partnership. Together we'll identify goals that matter to you, whether improving relationships, building self-esteem, or other personal objectives. Your goals may evolve as you gain new insights, and we can adjust our plan anytime to keep it meaningful and relevant.

Our first session

Our first session is an opportunity to get to know one another and develop a treatment plan. We'll discuss your background and what brings you to therapy. It's completely normal to feel nervous. We'll take it one step at a time, and I'm here to guide you through each step of the process.
