Norrette Thierry, LCP — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Norrette!

I believe each of us holds many strengths that can be hidden by life circumstances. To ease our pain and stress, we may cope in ways that, over time, defeat our best efforts. I would like to help you find greater balance and a higher quality of life through understanding, healing, support, and cognitive, mindful awareness.

My focus

I work with those who suffer from anxiety, are in a difficult relationship, may be isolating from others, or have lost a loved one.

My approach

I am mostly meeting patients virtually. I listen and work together with patients to identify their strengths and their vulnerable parts. Then, talk about what modality (CBT, insight-oriented, MBCBT) would likely help the most.

My communication style

I communicate verbally, with respect for the patient's needs, feelings, and goals for therapy.

My journey to mental healthcare

I initially planned to become a medical doctor, with a specialty in working with children. But, as I took more psychology classes, I was really drawn to the need to help people's emotions and relationships. This led me towards becoming an LMFT and clinical psychologist.

Our first session

I conduct an intake, asking specific questions about the patient's presenting problem, history, symptoms, current life circumstances, occupation, history of psychological/psychiatric services, etc. At the end, I check in with the person about how interacting with me felt and what they'd like to see happen in our work together.
