Ameshia Arthur, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Ameshia!

I'm trained in evidence-based modalities including CBT, DBT, Narrative therapy, Solution Focused, and EFT, so I can tailor my approach to your unique needs and personality. I believe in meeting you where you are and adapting our work together to what feels right for you.

My focus

I work with adults navigating significant life transitions, as well as those dealing with depression or anxiety. Whether you're facing a major change, feeling stuck, or struggling with overwhelming emotions, I'm here to support you through these challenges.

My approach

I'm a trauma-informed therapist who draws from multiple modalities depending on your needs and concerns. I use CBT, DBT, Narrative therapy, Solution Focused approaches, and EFT among others. My goal is to find the right combination of tools that resonates with you and supports your healing journey.

My communication style

Relationship is the most important thing in therapy. I create an environment where you can be seen and heard without judgment. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that you are the expert on your own life. I'm here to walk alongside you.

My journey to mental healthcare

I'm compelled to work with those experiencing panic, sadness, isolation, or feeling overwhelmed or hopeless. I'm fortunate to have the tools to help people through major life challenges, and I'm honored to partner with clients to improve their lives and rediscover hope.

My goals for you

I partner with you to create meaningful change in the ways that matter most to you. We'll work together to identify your goals, build on your strengths, and develop practical strategies that fit your life. Your vision for yourself guides our work, and I'm here to support you every step of the way.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll get to know each other and begin building our therapeutic relationship. We'll talk about what brings you to therapy, explore your goals, and start creating a plan that feels right for you. This is your space to share openly and ask any questions you have.
