Fanya Love, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Fanya!

Devoted to witnessing your transformative journey. My purpose is to leverage my educational, professional, and personal experiences to guide and support you in your transition to the next stage of your life.

My focus

I work with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, and trauma. My style fits best for those motivated for change and ready to take action to transition into the next phase of their life. My focus is helping clients build a toolbox with resilience and self-care tools to navigate life.

My approach

I reduce stress and trauma response through psychoeducation, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, elements of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and motivational interviewing. I provide a calm and safe place for each of my clients.

My communication style

I am warm, direct, calm, and personable. I want to build you up and reframe negative talk to support you in moving forward.

My journey to mental healthcare

I'm driven by a commitment to helping individuals overcome depression, sadness, and life's challenges. My journey stems from a desire to prove that positive change is possible. I'm passionate about guiding people through transformative transitions, fostering well-being, and making a meaningful impact.

My goals for you

Collaboration: Work together as partners to find a goal that's suitable and acceptable to the client. Respect their autonomy, preferences, and expertise. Involvement: Actively engage the client in the process. SMART goals: Set goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and timely.

Our first session

In your first session, I want to get to know you and why you're seeking therapy. I'll ask about your background, current struggles, relationships, interests, strengths, and goals for therapy. This helps us understand where you are and where you want to go.
