Kathleen Funes, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Kathleen!

I'm passionate about working alongside you to create a pathway toward self-awareness, healing, joy, and fulfillment. I work from a relational, client-centered, and psychodynamic approach. I believe your past provides a pathway for what you may be experiencing in the present. My hope is for you to feel both heard and known during our time together.

My focus

I work with adults and children on an individual basis. As you feel comfortable, we can extend to include family therapy. I believe it's important for you to understand yourself and your needs first before bringing another person into your therapeutic space.

My approach

I work from a person-centered and humanistic approach, and also utilize CBT, family systems, and psychodynamic theories. I value helping clients connect with their bodies by utilizing a variety of interventions that support meaningful change.

My communication style

I believe taking time to get to know each other is important for you to feel comfortable. I like for you to feel that you can be yourself in the therapy space while being willing to work on yourself to see meaningful change. You can expect authentic and honest dialogue from me.

My journey to mental healthcare

I began my career working in a domestic violence program and knew I wanted to assist individuals in identifying and understanding themselves, and moving forward to a healthier space in their lives. My goal is to help you identify and understand what components are negatively impacting your well-being through compassion, empowerment, and support.

My goals for you

I believe in collaborating with you in developing goals that align with your needs and wants for your own life.

Our first session

You should expect to take your time in getting to know me and what to expect in the therapeutic space before you feel you have to share anything you're not ready to share.
