Rebeca Mejia, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Rebeca!

I believe that it takes courage to seek therapy, and I like to approach therapy as a privilege that a client gives me to support them through their life journey.

My focus

I have experience mostly working with clients who are dealing with depression and/or anxiety due to interpersonal relationship issues.

My approach

I like to provide a safe therapeutic environment to build trust, as I believe that a therapeutic relationship is essential for the client to make progress in treatment. The most common theoretical approaches that I like to use in treatment are Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness.

My communication style

I have a calm tone, nonjudgmental, and I will use directive communication as needed/appropriate. I do assign homework as part of the treatment to help the client make progress in treatment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I wanted a career that, at the end of the day, I would feel satisfied that I had helped someone. I am passionate about being able to support others as they go through different life journeys.

My goals for you

I like to work on building therapeutic rapport for the first three sessions, and as we are building rapport, I ask how life would be different if the condition that brought the client to treatment were improved. I like to focus on what the client is not able to do that they would like to be able to do if their mental health improves.

Our first session

In the first session, I will provide a safe environment to begin building therapeutic rapport. I will have to ask a lot of questions to understand the reason for your seeking services at this time.
