Lacey West, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Lacey!

Taking this step isn't always easy, but I hope to come alongside you and support you through this journey. My goal is to meet you where you are and provide a safe space for you to grow, learn, and explore in the areas that are wanted and needed.

My focus

I have over 10 years of experience working with children, preteens, teenagers, adults, individuals, couples, and families.

My approach

I draw from acceptance and commitment therapy, art therapy, attachment-based therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, compassion focused therapy, family systems, gestalt, Gottman method, humanistic therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, motivational interviewing, person-centered therapy, play therapy, positive psychology, and trauma-focused approaches.

My communication style

My goal is to create a safe place for you to share what you're going through, the things that shaped you, and the directions you're hoping to take in life. Therapy can be challenging at times, but my hope is that we will navigate through those times together and be open and transparent with each other along the way.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I truly believe in the power of healing and the power of connectedness. I hope that after working together, you begin to experience both.

My goals for you

It is my core belief that the client is truly their own expert. I always begin goal setting by starting with what is most important to the client.

Our first session

During our first session, I will provide an overview of what to expect, explore the things that you’re hoping to achieve, and together create a plan for us to get there.
