Sabrina Powell, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Sabrina!

I work with adults specializing in depression, anxiety, grief, PTSD, occupational stress, relationship conflicts, and cultural and identity issues. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, I help clients make progress and start feeling better.

My focus

I specialize in working with adults facing depression, anxiety, grief, PTSD, occupational stress, relationship conflicts, cultural and identity issues, and survivors of abuse. I help clients build understanding and chart a path forward using evidence-based approaches.

My approach

My approach varies based on your unique needs. I start by getting to know you and understanding what you're facing. Together, we'll agree on the best path forward. I believe in educating clients so you can learn new coping skills and techniques to improve your life and relationships.

My communication style

My style is nurturing, accepting, empathic, and personable. I use unconditional positive regard to help you feel safe without judgment. I validate how you feel and normalize your situation so you can feel comfortable and at ease in our work together.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I have always accepted others, regardless of their background or circumstances. I believe in advocating for those who may not otherwise have a voice.

My goals for you

I first establish trust and rapport so we can work effectively together. We'll discuss and prioritize your goals, making them specific and measurable. Examples include handling workplace stress, improving relationships, grieving loss, or dealing with health crises.

Our first session

My first session is about getting to know you better. I'll ask questions about what's been going on, what symptoms you're experiencing, and how they're impacting your life. My goal is to give you direction and instill hope for the future.
