Hello! My name is Teri Rubanowitz and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in the San Fernando Valley, California. I am working with clients via Telehealth. I work with Individuals of all ages and couples specializing in anxiety, stress, and depression using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as modalities to help me and my client navigate transition periods. I work with my clients to build skills to allow them to feel better about themselves and develop a more positive outlook on life!
My approach
Everyone who I work with is different! I borrow from different modalities depending on the needs of my client and their issues. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness. Once I can assist a client in identifying their destructive thought patterns, I will guide them and introduce them to healthy coping mechanisms so that they can deal with negative cycles, and ultimately my clients will be able to THINK differently, FEEL better and lastly CHANGE their negative behaviors into more POSITIVE behaviors and they will be HAPPIER as an outcome!
My focus
My style and approach with my clients is very natural and authentic. I work well with everyone and I take pride in the fact that I am able to help my clients feel that they can conquer anything. I also like to help my clients ultimately see the glass half FULL!
My communication style
My communication style is calm, accommodating, and personable. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking to me about anything in a kind and caring environment free of judgment.
My journey to mental healthcare
I decided to become a therapist because I love people! I am happy when I am making a difference and I like to see individuals become their "best selves"
My goals for you
I help my clients to realize that they are not alone and that I will be working with them every step of the way to set reasonable goals that are attainable and realistic.
My first session with you
During our first session, my goal is to make a connection with my client by providing them with a sense of comfort and a feeling of relief with regards to their current situation.
