Dion Rigdon, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Dion!

I believe in a client-focused approach that allows you to understand yourself and your actions. I have gained experience in a variety of therapeutic areas such as trauma resolution, anxiety, couples treatment, anger management, panic disorders, and depression.

My focus

I typically work with couples, adolescents with social anxiety, unresolved trauma, and anger management issues.

My approach

I focus on the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and client-centered approaches.

My communication style

I do my best to maintain a thoughtful, engaging environment that allows you to relax and discuss your concerns.

My journey to mental healthcare

I found at an early age that many of my friends and family came to me for support and help with life problems. What I discovered from that was that I was able to connect with people, and it is rewarding for me when I can help someone resolve their issues.

My goals for you

I think buy-in is important and that you need to be directly involved in the development of your goals. I ask you in the first session what you are searching for in treatment.

Our first session

We'll discuss the pros and cons of therapy, the limits of confidentiality, your goals for treatment and what you want to get out of it, what brought you to treatment, and complete an intake interview.
