Carolina Samano, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Carolina!

I provide sensitive and non-judgmental attention to my clients. I give my clients a safe space to speak, to better explore and understand their current emotions and challenges.

My focus

I work with individuals, including women and older adults, who experience challenges with anxiety, depression, trauma, relational problems, or other mental health challenges.

My approach

I use a Client-Centered therapeutic approach and also include interventions from other therapeutic modalities such as Emotionally Focused Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Trauma-focused therapy.

My communication style

In sessions with me, I work to create an environment of empathy and connection where my clients can feel safe to speak, understood, validated, and respected. I work to guide my clients towards self-awareness and readiness for growth.

My journey to mental healthcare

My goal is to guide and support my clients during their journey towards emotional healing and personal growth.

My goals for you

I help clients identify their goals and work collaboratively to develop strategies that support their emotional healing and personal growth.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll discuss what brings you to therapy, explore your goals, and begin building a safe, collaborative space where you can share openly and feel understood.
