Sarah Ojeda, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Sarah!

Starting therapy can be a big decision, and I am glad you are here! I take a client-centered approach and focus on creating an empathetic space while helping you develop tools to meet your therapy goals. I am here to support your journey to better mental health.

My focus

I am here to help you if life transitions feel rough, anxious thoughts are overwhelming, or you are struggling with depression. I can help you cope with feelings and stress related to relationships, parenting, aging parents, and the postpartum experience.

My approach

I primarily offer Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy to help you develop relaxation tools, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and develop more effective coping skills. I take a holistic approach, considering physical, social, emotional, and spiritual well-being. My approach prioritizes understanding you and your unique background.

My communication style

I aim for open communication where you can share your concerns, feelings, and thoughts without judgment. I set a welcoming, empathetic tone for treatment and listen to hear you and your needs.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a provider because I believe in holistic health and well-being. I believe we need to nurture our minds and sometimes need help from supportive people to grow and become our best selves. I find passion in supporting people in their own unique journey to better mental health.

My goals for you

I will help you explore your reasons for therapy and develop attainable therapeutic goals to work towards. We can work towards building coping skills for stressors, building confidence, or improving communication skills. Once we identify your goals, I will help you develop and implement the tools to meet them.

Our first session

During the first session, I will use gentle guiding and open-ended questions to explore your reasons for therapy. My main goal is to start learning about you, your background, and your hopes for the future. I am here to guide you, support you, and welcome you into the therapeutic experience.
