Georgina Fontein, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Georgina!

I help people with mental health and relationship issues. I create a space where you can explore what brings you to therapy and work toward meaningful change.

My focus

I have specialized training in treating eating issues, stress, fears, anxieties, and sadness due to all sorts of reasons.

My approach

I use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Rogerian, and Exposure Therapy. The specific method is selected after meeting you and identifying your treatment goals.

My communication style

A casual and supportive environment is ideal for those looking to learn more about themselves and increase their understanding of the issues that they are facing.

My journey to mental healthcare

I took some Psychology classes in my undergraduate program and could not contain my curiosity. I wanted to absorb all of the information in my textbooks. During my studies, I began to believe that the mind is essential. I love my job and truly enjoy helping people navigate out of their challenges.

My goals for you

I am straightforward when asking what you want to gain from therapy.

Our first session

You can expect me to listen and learn a lot about you. I will review policies and confidentiality, but this session is generally for gathering information and learning about the issues that you are facing.
