Mildred Magana-Mejia, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Mildred!

Life can feel overwhelming at times, but you don’t have to face it alone. I work with clients to gently explore stress, self-doubt, and life transitions with patience and compassion. Together, we’ll focus on helping you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself and the future you want to build.

My focus

I work towards creating a compassionate and supportive space where clients feel safe to openly share and explore their honest perspectives as well as take meaningful steps toward personal growth.

My approach

I provide evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and problem-solving therapy (PST) to help clients move past unhealthy thought patterns and cognitive barriers. My style is practical and collaborative, offering tools that empower you to feel more in control.

My communication style

I value clear and open communication with my clients. I hold an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I feel grateful to have worked with people from many walks of life and to witness the strength and transformation that comes with overcoming adversity. I deeply believe that every person holds the ability to adjust to change and feel good about it.

My goals for you

I view therapy as a collaborative team. Together, we’ll focus on the goals that matter most to you, regardless of whether it's about relationships or personal growth. As you discover new insights, we’ll adjust your goals so therapy continues to feel supportive and relevant to you.

Our first session

During our first session, we’ll get to know each other and talk about what matters to you. It’s normal to feel nervous, but as we build comfort and trust, we’ll move forward together at a pace that feels right for you.
