Frederick Wahlig, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Frederick!

I provide support to clients experiencing challenges in their lives. My approach centers on meeting you with empathy, openness, and understanding as we work through what brings you to therapy.

My focus

I specialize in life and career transitions, and I'm a culturally competent therapist. I have specific experience with active duty and veteran clients, adoption issues, trauma, childhood abuse, and work-related problems.

My approach

I have an eclectic approach to working with my clients since there is not one therapeutic framework that meets the needs of all clients. I tailor my therapeutic modality to the needs of the client. I will meet you with empathy, openness, and unconditional positive regard.

My communication style

I'm an active listener who listens without judgment. I give you space to share your experiences and perspectives so we can clarify your issues together.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist after working on a Suicide and Crisis Hotline. It was during this time that I realized I wanted to work with individuals who were having difficulty navigating through life transitions.

My goals for you

I believe goal setting is client-driven. We'll work together to identify what matters most to you and create a path forward that aligns with your values and priorities.

Our first session

Our first session is a chance to get to know each other. You'll share why you're seeking treatment, and we'll begin developing a treatment plan to help you reach your goals.
