Vicky Cerezo, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Vicky!

I believe therapy is a collaborative process where we work together toward your goals to create more clarity, purpose, and fulfillment. I work with individuals navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply feeling that something in life is off or unfulfilling.

My focus

I work with individuals who may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected—whether due to anxiety, poor work-life balance, expectations, relationship challenges, or life transitions. You deserve a space to be yourself, where you are understood and genuinely seen. I believe that everyone has the capacity for growth and healing.

My approach

I offer a collaborative, safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals. I believe healing happens not just by reducing symptoms, but by helping you feel more grounded, connected, and aligned with your values and sense of purpose. Together, we'll go at a pace that feels right for you.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, collaborative, and focused on creating a safe space for open dialogue. I ask thoughtful questions to understand your unique perspective and tailor my approach to your needs. I listen to more than your words—I focus on the emotions and experiences behind them.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist is rooted in personal experience and a deep desire to facilitate growth and offer meaningful support. When my brother went through a life-changing accident, I needed support to navigate its impact on my family and myself. That experience opened my eyes to the power of self-awareness, healing, and human connection.

My goals for you

Together, we identify areas in your life where you'd like to see change—whether it's managing anxiety, healing from trauma, improving relationships, or finding clarity during a life transition. Your goals will grow and change as you do. We check in regularly to assess what's working, what isn't, and where new priorities might be emerging.

Our first session

The first session is about getting to know you—your story, your needs, and what you hope to get out of therapy. It's also a chance for you to get to know me, ask questions, and start building a trusting connection. There's no pressure to dive into everything at once. We move at a pace that feels safe for you.
