Yahsemin Lennan, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Yahsemin!

I am committed to working with couples, individuals, and young adults who are facing some of life's challenges and are experiencing conflict in their relationships. I have experience working with people who struggle with anxiety, depression, anger, and trauma.

My focus

I work with both individuals and couples, although I have a sweet spot for working with couples. I support couples in increasing understanding, affection, building trust, respect, and managing conflict within the relationship. I assist individuals in developing problem-solving skills, changing problem behaviors, and enhancing coping strategies.

My approach

My approach to therapy is individualized to meet your needs. I draw from person-centered, cognitive behavioral, emotionally focused, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and the Gottman Method. In addition, I utilize brainspotting.

My communication style

My communication style is calm, welcoming, and personable. I meet my clients where they are by offering a judgment-free environment where clients can explore growth and healing.

My journey to mental healthcare

I entered this field because I am passionate about helping people navigate life's challenges and build healthier relationships. Supporting clients through their healing journey and witnessing their growth is deeply meaningful to me.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting with clients is all about working together and discussing what you would like the outcome of therapy to be. I will walk alongside you and create achievable goals, along with in-session and out-of-session tasks to practice learned skills.

Our first session

Our first session will be about getting to know you and what brings you to therapy. This will consist of my asking questions to understand the issues from your point of view and allowing you to ask any questions you might have about the therapy process or my approach.
