Elda Mandi, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Elda!

I focus on the “here and now” by utilizing a mixture of frameworks, including Positive Psychology, CBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care.

My focus

I work with adults and elderly individuals who experience anxiety, grief, career burnout, relationships, and intergenerational conflicts.

My approach

I am a strength-based, solution-focused, culturally aware therapist. I focus on the “here and now” by utilizing a mixture of frameworks, including Positive Psychology, CBT, mindfulness, trauma-informed care, and more.

My communication style

My clients tell me that I am an active listener, observant, non-judgmental, and a trustworthy therapist. My approaches reflect warmth, acceptance, and empathy.

My journey to mental healthcare

I work to see people thrive and live up to their potential. Everyone has a gift! I'm here to explore and identify the strengths that one has and help build on those strengths to conquer life challenges.

My goals for you

I can help you find your strengths and use them to challenge negative beliefs that trigger anxiety, frustration, negative self-views, and lack of motivation. My goal is to help you discover your potential and live life to the fullest.
