Linnae Ponte, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Linnae!

I work with adults and couples, specializing in PTSD, complex trauma, anxiety, and depression. My goal is to help you navigate these challenges with compassion and expertise.

My focus

I'm passionate about supporting clients experiencing complex trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, life transitions, OCD, and relational challenges. I also work with individuals integrating non-ordinary states of consciousness and have extensive training in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy.

My approach

As an integrative psychotherapist, I tailor my approach to your unique needs. I'm passionate about Internal Family Systems and blend it with person-centered, attachment-based, mindfulness, somatic, transpersonal, and culturally-sensitive methods to support your healing.

My communication style

My communication style is calm and personable. I want you to feel comfortable talking about anything without judgment. Clients appreciate my ability to listen deeply and get to the heart of the matter quickly and effectively.

My journey to mental healthcare

Growing up as a highly sensitive empath, I once believed something was wrong with me. Through my own therapy, I unraveled those beliefs and discovered my sensitivity as a gift. I'm deeply honored to join clients in their healing journeys.

My goals for you

We'll work together to define what you want to accomplish. Some clients have specific goals, while others seek deeper self-understanding. We'll collaborate on a few goals and periodically review our progress to ensure we're on track.

Our first session

We'll talk about what you hope to get from therapy, your past experiences, and how I can best support you. I'll share how I work, welcome your questions, and encourage you to feel into whether we could be a good fit to work together.
