Lenny Hughley, LCSW, LISW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Lenny!

I like to create a space that is warm and nonjudgmental where individuals can freely talk about whatever they choose. My specialties include depression, anxiety, and stress management.

My focus

I have experience with persons who suffer from addiction, anger, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorders, career counseling, depression, and racial trauma.

My approach

My theoretical approaches include Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Rational-Emotive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing.

My communication style

I am an empathetic listener who acknowledges all clients' needs to be heard. Clients who work with me can expect someone who listens and provides a perspective they may not have otherwise considered.

My journey to mental healthcare

Through therapy, I learned how to manage depression, anger, and anxiety and overcome low self-esteem. Through my practice, I find it rewarding to help clients do the same.

My goals for you

During each session, I review with clients the progress they may have made, areas they are still struggling with, and explore which areas they would like to improve going forward.

Our first session

Our first session will be to gain insight, build rapport, and decide if I am a good "fit" for the client.
