Anthony Phan, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Anthony!

I create a space for you to process current life stressors and collaborate on therapeutic tools to decrease their intensity.

My focus

I work with clients experiencing distress, grief, or barriers to achieving life goals. I'm comfortable treating severe mental illness and supporting people navigating work, career, marriage, relationships, family, and life transitions.

My approach

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, dialectical behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, internal family systems, and motivational interviewing to help you manage distress and move toward your goals.

My communication style

I use a calm tone and reflective listening so you can process your thoughts and emotions. You'll feel heard throughout our sessions.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've worked with diverse populations facing barriers in managing stressors around work, relationships, and life transitions. My focus is facilitating a non-judgmental environment where you can process emotions and build effective coping tools.

My goals for you

Goal setting with clients would be a collaborative effort, and providing feedback towards the end of the session in gaining acknowledgment from clients if these are the goals/objectives they wish to achieve, and gaining perspective on how they would know if the goals/objectives are achieved.

Our first session

In our first session, I'll introduce myself, discuss confidentiality, and invite you to share what brings you to therapy.
