Fallon Epstein, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Fallon!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is passionate about helping individuals overcome symptoms relating to trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, or just feeling stuck. I hope to help you live a more fulfilling life by exploring your goals and developing strategies for positive change using evidence-based practices and self-care.

My focus

I typically work with adolescents and adults struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, negative thought patterns, overthinking, boundary issues, communication challenges, and emotion regulation. I adapt sessions to meet the needs of each age group to ensure effective and appropriate therapy.

My approach

I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as my primary approach. CBT focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. By changing these patterns, you'll develop positive coping skills and manage your mental health. I work collaboratively to help you achieve your goals in a safe, supportive environment.

My communication style

During sessions, I want you to feel relaxed, safe, and able to share your feelings. I'm a great listener and empathetic, but I'll also challenge you as needed to reduce negative thinking patterns. I'm genuinely interested in your story and journey while helping you grow and develop healthy coping skills.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist started with a passion for helping others. I began in education but wanted to work more individually with children and families, which led me to pursue social work. I've now worked in the mental health community in various settings, gaining hands-on experience with diverse populations.

My goals for you

I use a collaborative client-centered approach to goal setting. It's important to build rapport so you feel comfortable communicating freely with me. Together, we'll identify your strengths to develop appropriate goals. I'll be here to assist you in making positive changes in a safe and comfortable space.

Our first session

During the initial session, you can expect to build rapport in a warm, welcoming, non-judgmental space. I want you to feel safe sharing your emotions and concerns while exploring what brought you to therapy. I'll ask questions to understand your experiences and what you hope to achieve. This is also your time to ask questions and feel comfortable.
