Tricia Favela, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Tricia!

I'm dedicated to empowering individuals through compassionate and personalized care. My client-centered approach prioritizes empathy, respect, and open-mindedness, fostering a trusting relationship that encourages genuine exploration and growth. I believe in meeting you exactly where you are in your journey.

My focus

I work with clients dealing with anxiety and stress management, depression, building self-esteem, and relationship issues. By prioritizing collaboration, I empower you to share your story and insights, recognizing that you are the expert in your own life. My goal is to help you navigate challenges and achieve your aspirations.

My approach

I emphasize empathy, positive regard, and collaboration, creating an environment that encourages open dialogue and exploration. Integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, I use evidence-based practices to identify and modify negative thought patterns while focusing on solutions and strengths.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, approachable, and non-judgmental. I create a safe and inviting environment where you feel comfortable expressing your thoughts and feelings. I actively listen and engage in conversations that promote trust and openness.

My journey to mental healthcare

From a young age, I was drawn to helping others and understanding human behavior. This passion led me to pursue social work, where I developed my understanding of mental health and therapeutic practices. My extensive background in child welfare has enriched my empathy and deepened my commitment to supporting others.

My goals for you

I prioritize a collaborative process where we identify specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound goals that align with your values. I encourage you to reflect on your strengths and resources, fostering ownership over your progress. We regularly revisit and adjust these goals.

Our first session

You can expect a warm and welcoming environment where you'll feel safe to share your thoughts and feelings. We'll begin with introductions, and I'll ask you to share your story, including the challenges you're facing and your goals for therapy. I'll explain the therapeutic process, confidentiality, and session structure.
