Carolyn Goldstein-Hidalgo, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Carolyn!

I work with children, transitional-age youth, and adults, bringing experience in supporting individuals through a range of life challenges and transitions.

My focus

I help people who seek relief from dealing with life's challenges (stress, justice involvement, coping with addictions, transitions from employment, school, and relationships).

My approach

I offer traditional talk therapy as well as other modalities (cognitive behavioral therapy, relational, and solution-focused therapy) to address addiction, trauma, mood & psychosis.

My communication style

I view the therapy process as a collaborative effort. We engage in an open discussion of each individual's strengths and needs.

My journey to mental healthcare

I started as a residential counselor and have held positions within community-treatment organizations that provide school, home, and community-based services. I am very excited and humbled to provide you with the best care available, as you deserve this space for expression and healing.

My goals for you

As you go through this journey of self-discovery, we will explore both short—and long-term goals through a warm, empathic, and supportive approach.

Our first session

During the first session, clients should expect it to be both structured and non-structured. I will ask basic assessment questions using a relational therapy approach (you are the expert in your life, and I want to hear your hopes and dreams).
