Jane Meza, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Jane!

I work with individual clients to address Anxiety, Depression, Stress, and Low Self-Esteem. I like to utilize CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) as my main approach to help reduce symptoms.

My focus

I enjoy working with teens and adults of all ages. My approach is helpful for people struggling with transitions, depression, anxiety, and stress.

My approach

The approach I use will vary from client to client. I mainly use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I also like to incorporate distress tolerance skills when I feel it is beneficial to a client. In utilizing both these approaches, a client can learn to reduce distressing symptoms.

My communication style

When working with me, it is important that I provide a judgment-free environment. This is important in order to help a client open up and discuss their challenges. My tone towards my clients is always calm and supportive.

My journey to mental healthcare

I started working as a behaviorist with children on the autism spectrum, then with children who had depression, anxiety, and oppositional defiance diagnoses. I decided to become a therapist so I could work with clients by addressing and processing what they have been through in life.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is always collaborative. It is important to focus on what you are telling me and address your concerns. Building trust is essential for a good therapeutic alliance.

Our first session

During the first session, I focus on getting to know you and understanding what brings you to therapy. I will ask questions to see if we can work well together.
