Brenda Cabrera, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Brenda!

I work with adolescents and adults. I specialize in anxiety, stress, and depression, helping clients on their wellness journey with warmth and evidence-based care.

My focus

I work with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, borderline personality, relationship issues, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, stress, and LGBTQ+ identity exploration.

My approach

My approach utilizes Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Self-compassion-Based Interventions, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help you build coping skills and process difficult experiences.

My communication style

My communication style is calm, compassionate, and personable. I aim to create a space where you can focus on your vulnerabilities without judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I'm deeply committed to supporting people through their struggles and helping them discover their inner strengths. I've been drawn to understanding how people think and feel, and I've seen firsthand the transformative power of empathy and guidance.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is all about collaboration. We will work together to establish goals that meet your unique needs and honor your voice in treatment.

Our first session

We'll spend time getting to know each other. I'm interested in understanding your background, current challenges, and what you hope to achieve through therapy. We'll talk about what you can expect from our sessions to ensure you feel safe and supported. This is your space, and I want you to feel comfortable and informed.
