Richard Meza, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Richard!

I know seeking therapeutic help isn't always the easiest thing to do, but I applaud you for taking the first step on the journey. I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

My focus

Have you been struggling with anxious thoughts or self-doubt? I work with young adults who are managing anxiety, life transitions, and those seeking support for self-esteem issues. Whether you’re working through trauma, building coping skills, or exploring your personal goals.

My approach

I use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and help create or strengthen more helpful ones. This will take working together during the session and individual work in between sessions to achieve.

My communication style

I pride myself on open, mindful, and strength-based communication. I provide a non-judgmental environment with active listening as we explore your unique journey together.

My journey to mental healthcare

I worked with children and families who faced trauma, abuse, and neglect and saw firsthand how powerful therapy is. I wanted to help in a deeper way, so I pursued clinical social work to provide the support I've always wanted to offer.

My goals for you

I believe in the partnership of therapy. We'll work on goal achievement together at every stage: goal setting, treatment, and tailoring my approach to you.

Our first session

It will be a true meet and greet. We'll get to know each other, and I'll gain a better understanding of your journey, what you want from therapy, and your ideal goals.
