Stephen Finn, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Stephen!

I work with individuals, couples, and adolescents who are navigating anxiety, stress, and related challenges. Using approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and Seeking Safety, I help clients make progress and start feeling better.

My focus

I work well with teens and young adults dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, and substance use. I also work with older adults, helping all my clients navigate these challenges, build skills, feel better about themselves, and develop a more positive outlook on life.

My approach

My approach varies based on your unique needs. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Seeking Safety, as both help us build a shared understanding of your reality and work together to chart a path forward.

My communication style

My communication style is calm, genuine, and personable. I want you to feel comfortable and safe talking with me about anything. I seek to establish an atmosphere of unconditional positive regard, which I believe every person deserves.

My journey to mental healthcare

I decided to become a therapist because I have always wanted to help people. I have naturally been drawn to helping others through difficult times and enjoy seeing individuals become the best versions of themselves.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is all about working together to define what you want to accomplish. This usually starts by building trust and getting comfortable with what it means to be in therapy. We'll work together to set goals and track your progress.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll spend most of our time talking about how you've been feeling recently, and I'll ask questions to better understand why you may be feeling that way. You'll also have a chance to ask me about my experience and any other questions you may have.
