Nancy Paredes, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Nancy!

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a doctorate in Social Work. I am passionate about my work with adults, children/adolescents, and their families, and I strive to meet clients where they are.

My focus

I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, and grief. Each session is tailored to fit your unique needs and circumstances.

My approach

I use a collaborative, solution-focused approach and believe you are the true expert in your life. I draw from evidence-based practices to help you achieve your goals and become the best version of yourself.

My communication style

I strive to help you feel heard, supported, and encouraged. I value rapport building and creating a welcoming environment where you feel respected, valued, and secure as we address your concerns together.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have a passion for helping others and enjoy watching clients become the best version of themselves. My dedication is driven by a commitment to empower others, facilitate healing, and promote lasting positive change.

My goals for you

Goal setting is a collaborative, client-centered activity. You are the expert in your own life, and together we'll identify your strengths to set attainable goals. I use SMART goals to process your concerns and consistently check in to ensure we're meeting your needs.

Our first session

I'll provide a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment. We'll explore what brought you to therapy and any specific issues or goals you want to address. I'll listen and may ask clarifying questions to better understand your situation. My main goal is to build rapport and begin your journey toward positive change.
