Natascha Runge, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Natascha!

I am here to help you work through any issues you are struggling with. I specialize in anxiety, depression, and relational issues, and I am trauma-informed. I look forward to working with you!

My focus

I enjoy working with clients of all cultural and ethnic backgrounds, primarily adults. I enjoy helping those who are struggling with depression, anxiety, relational issues, life changes, as well as those with trauma-related issues.

My approach

I utilize a psychodynamic, client-centered approach. I also incorporate cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, and somatic principles. I follow a holistic, mind-body approach.

My communication style

My goal is to create a safe space for clients where they can feel heard, understood, and cared for. Unconditional positive regard is key.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always been interested in understanding how the mind works and what motivates behavior, and I found myself enjoying helping others explore and understand themselves better.

My goals for you

Goal setting is an important component in therapy, and I follow a collaborative approach. I meet clients where they are and explore what they want to work on.

Our first session

In the first session, we will focus on building a rapport and a sense of comfort and safety in exploring any issues.
