Liane Lester, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Liane!

I focus on you and your relationships. A session with me helps you process your relationship with family, friends, your living environment, work, entertainment, significant other, and yourself. Let's talk.

My focus

Most clients I work with deal with depression from overwhelming aspects of life—work, finances, relationships. Many have turned to negative coping mechanisms resulting in addiction and destructive consequences. I want to help you find positive, self-affirming coping mechanisms like exercise, affordable activities, and healthy relationships.

My approach

I'm a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist who takes a Rogerian approach.

My communication style

I like to communicate. I am someone you can talk with and process various ideas with.

My journey to mental healthcare

After suffering from a TBI from a car accident, my life changed direction. I have learned the importance of friends, family, and support. The resources are out there, you just have to figure out what you want and then find a healthy, productive way to achieve it.

My goals for you

Tell me what you want, and we will figure out what needs to be done and how long it will take to achieve the result you want, or at least get you started in the right direction.

Our first session

The first session is simply a 'get to know you session' and an opportunity to acquire general knowledge to find out if we are compatible. Hopefully, it will provide a sense of direction and provide a plan that will inform the steps that can be taken to achieve one's goal.
