Cherrlynn Hubbard, LCSW, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Cherrlynn!

I am an evidence-based social worker who has worked with children, adolescents, and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma. I work collaboratively with my clients to identify and support their strengths, while providing a space to process difficult life experiences and challenges.

My focus

I have worked with a wide range of individuals, including children and adolescents, as well as individuals living with HIV and Geriatrics. I specialize in working with generalized anxiety disorder, PTSD, depression, and panic disorder.

My approach

I assist those I work with in reducing symptoms related to trauma, depression, grief, and anxiety using Relational Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy interventions, and Mindfulness/compassion-based practices. I also work with couples to learn to manage conflict and strengthen their relationship using evidence-based approaches.

My communication style

I try to create a warm and welcoming environment that is rooted in a sense of belonging, connectedness, and empowerment. I work to engage individuals in an authentic manner in which their perspective is valued and respected.

My journey to mental healthcare

I grew up in a working-class family with 4 siblings in a low-income community. My parents are amazing, but they worked long, hard days to provide for us. This naturally made me the caregiver of my younger brothers, who consistently did things to upset my parents, whose patience after a long day at work was not forgiving.

My goals for you

I try to keep goal development simple by utilizing the “SMART” system. Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time Bound. This allows my clients to focus on specific areas in which they would like to see improvement in small doses.

Our first session

My initial meeting with my clients is always based on information gathering and rapport building. I will spend some time discussing and reviewing my treatment process, but will spend the majority of the time listening to the client's reasons for seeking support and what they would like to achieve while in treatment.
