Caryn Canales, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Caryn!

Our initial goal will be to define your primary issues. Then we'll work together to resolve them with improved communication skills and problem-solving techniques. Finally, we'll review your progress and develop strategies to maintain your improvement.

My focus

I work with adults on anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, family and work dynamics, life transitions, chronic illness, and grief. I have experience with educators, first-generation immigrants and their children, LGBTQIA+ clients, veterans, first responders, racial justice issues, and single-parent families.

My approach

My approach is eclectic and collaborative. What works for one person may not work for another. So I want to find what works best for you.

My communication style

I'm going to listen to you with compassion and insight and teach you how to do that for yourself. The outcome can be truly transformative.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been fascinated by what motivates us all as human beings. My natural inclination has developed into therapeutic skills that help my clients realize their potential.

My goals for you

We'll work together to identify what matters most to you and develop practical strategies that fit your life. I'll support you in building skills and insights that help you move toward your goals with confidence.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity for you to talk about your thoughts and feelings, and what you want to get out of our work together. It's a chance to start to get to know each other, and see if we might be a good therapeutic fit.
