Amy Pixler, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Amy!

I enjoy helping clients with their journey through depression, anxiety, and stress to find skills that work best for them.

My focus

I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for adults who may be dealing with difficult life transitions that have resulted in anxiety, depression, and stress. I enjoy working with clients to build their skills to address these concerns and feel more empowered.

My approach

My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. I most often utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Client-Centered Therapy to work together to address your main concerns and reach your goals.

My communication style

My communication style is calm, safe, and authentic. I want my clients to feel open talking with me and be invited to express themselves in how they are most comfortable.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a therapist began when I realized the unique experiences of the world for each person and how difficult it can be to face them alone. My own experience of trauma led me to understand how important it is to address them to find ways to protect my peace.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is for you to have the power to lead the direction of treatment and work together to ensure your goals are addressed while building trust.

Our first session

In the first session together, you can expect us to spend time getting to know each other and exploring what is bringing you to therapy. It is important to me in this session to learn more about you to understand how best to move forward in our sessions.
