Norma Duenas, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Norma!

I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore your personal goals. Together, we will focus on cultivating self-awareness and unlocking your unique strengths.

My focus

I specialize in individual and family therapy for a wide age range, supporting clients from infancy through their senior years. I help individuals navigate life's challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and significant life transitions.

My approach

I love partnering with clients to increase their self-awareness and empower them to reach their goals. Using evidence-based modalities like CBT and IPT, I provide a strength-based environment to support you through every step of your personal growth.

My communication style

I bring a warm, enthusiastic energy to our sessions, taking the time to truly understand you and highlight your unique strengths. I believe that healing is an empowering journey of rediscovering yourself and building the skills to become the best version you can be.

My journey to mental healthcare

My passion for helping others reach their full potential led me to the therapy profession, following impactful work in community organizations and youth mentoring. I am dedicated to supporting my clients through their personal and professional development.

My goals for you

As you advance in your treatment, we will continuously set new and achievable goals together. This step-by-step approach ensures you maintain momentum and celebrate your progress along the way.

Our first session

The first session is dedicated to establishing a strong, supportive bond with you. During this time, we will discuss your background and explore the primary reasons you are seeking therapy. Together, we will begin laying the foundation for your personal growth and future sessions.
