Magnolia Cedeno, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Magnolia!

Starting therapy can be a life-changing experience. I provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

My focus

I help clients navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, and loss. Together we'll develop coping strategies, set meaningful goals, and build empowerment through supportive, collaborative work.

My approach

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to meet your unique needs. Whether you're facing specific challenges or seeking personal growth, I'm here to walk alongside you on your journey towards healing and self-discovery.

My communication style

I prioritize empathetic, non-judgmental listening and clear and respectful language. During the session, I will provide active listening, summarize, and ask for clarification in order to help clients process their feelings. Also, I will provide supportive feedback to help clients gain awareness of patterns and progress.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've worked with diverse populations facing mental health challenges, social and emotional difficulties, and complex life circumstances. Assisting clients in developing tools to cope, grow, and heal brings deep meaning to my work. Seeing clients gain confidence or find peace makes this work incredibly rewarding.

My goals for you

Everyone has a different reason for starting therapy—improving self-esteem, learning coping skills, or strengthening relationships. Treatment goals are a collaborative process that must be meaningful and relevant to you. I'll provide the tools you need to reach your goals.
