Maria Arredondo-Coronel, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Maria!

Seeking support takes courage, and I'm glad you are here. I provide a warm, supportive, and collaborative space where clients can explore challenges, build on their strengths, and work toward meaningful change. Together, we will identify practical strategies that support growth, resilience, and overall well-being.

My focus

Are anxiety, stress, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, or life transitions making it difficult to feel like yourself? I work with teens, young adults, and adults to better understand their experiences, strengthen coping skills, and move toward meaningful goals in a supportive and empowering way.

My approach

I believe therapy should be a space where you feel supported, understood, and empowered to grow. My approach is collaborative, flexible, and tailored to your needs. I meet you where you are while drawing from evidence-based practices to support your growth and healing. Together, we'll build on your strengths and develop practical coping skills.

My communication style

I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and understood. I balance empathy with honest feedback, ask thoughtful questions, and work collaboratively with you to build insight, recognize strengths, and navigate challenges at a pace that feels right for you.

My journey to mental healthcare

I chose this profession because I value human connection and believe people have an incredible capacity for growth and healing. Being able to support clients as they navigate challenges, discover their strengths, and create positive change is what continues to make this work meaningful to me.

My goals for you

I see therapy as a partnership. Together, we'll identify goals that are meaningful to you and create a plan that feels realistic an achievable. As your needs evolve, we'll adapt our work to support your growth, strengthen coping skills, and help you move toward the life you want to create.

Our first session

During our first session, we'll take time to get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. We'll explore your concerns, strengths, goals, and expectations so I can better understand your needs and begin developing a plan for treatment. My goal is to create a warm, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and comfortable.
