Glenda Navarro, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Glenda!

I'm a compassionate therapist with extensive experience in community-based mental health, including work with high-acuity clients facing complex challenges. I've developed a deep understanding of the unique experiences and struggles that individuals from diverse backgrounds encounter.

My focus

I specialize in working with young adults, adolescents, families, and couples facing emotional and relational challenges. I support individuals with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, negative thought patterns, relationship challenges, and identity concerns.

My approach

I use a person-centered approach, prioritizing your goals while drawing from various modalities. My work incorporates somatic techniques, self-compassion, mindfulness, creative arts, and attachment-based methods. I also use CBT, DBT, solution-focused, family systems, and holistic approaches.

My communication style

I create a safe, welcoming, non-judgmental space where you can feel comfortable and supported. I understand seeking therapy can be vulnerable, and I'm committed to fostering trust, openness, and growth. You'll find a space to speak freely, explore emotions, and gain insight at your own pace.

My journey to mental healthcare

Through my experience in community-based mental health, I've developed a deep understanding of the unique experiences and struggles that individuals from diverse backgrounds encounter. This has shaped my commitment to offering culturally sensitive, compassionate care.

My goals for you

I believe that healing begins when you feel heard, respected, and valued. My approach is collaborative, and I strive to make you feel like an active partner in the therapeutic process. This means meeting you where you are in life, validating your experiences, and tailoring our work together to suit your unique needs.

Our first session

I'll take time to ensure you feel heard and respected. I will explain the therapeutic process and answer questions about how we'll work together. My approach is empathetic and culturally sensitive, aiming to make our time together welcoming and non-judgmental.
