Ligia Pacheco Paz, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Ligia!

I have been helping patients overcome their struggles and hope to do the same with you. My focus is on creating a supportive space where you can work through challenges and move toward the life you want.

My focus

I have worked with many different cultures, ages, and people from different walks of life. Currently, I am focusing on patients with depression, anxiety, and stress.

My approach

I meet patients where they are at and help them define their goals. My approach includes, but is not limited to, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Problem-Solving Therapy (PST). Every session is an opportunity for progress!

My communication style

I listen to understand and set clear goals and boundaries. I understand not everyone may be ready for therapy, but I will aim to guide you on your journey.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to this work has been shaped by a commitment to understanding people and helping them navigate life's challenges with compassion and practical tools.

My goals for you

We'll work together to identify what matters most to you, break down goals into manageable steps, and build skills you can use in daily life to create lasting change.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll get to know each other, discuss what brings you to therapy, and begin identifying goals. I'll answer any questions you have and we'll start building a plan together.
