Maria Villagomez, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Maria!

I'm here to provide a safe, compassionate space to help you explore your feelings, find clarity, and work towards a healthier, more balanced life. We can work together to meet your goals.

My focus

My ideal clients are those who are overwhelmed and ready to heal and create change. We can work together to create better coping patterns and build skills to move forward in a healthier way.

My approach

I provide a supportive and open approach that emphasizes empathy, understanding, and collaboration. I create a safe environment where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings without judgment. I recognize your unique experiences and empower you to explore concerns at your own pace.

My communication style

I create a safe environment where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings without judgment. I recognize your unique experiences and empower you to explore concerns at your own pace. Fostering trust and compassion encourages genuine growth and healing.

My journey to mental healthcare

I love to see people become the best version of themselves. I have explored my own interests and goals along the way. I know the hard work it takes to get through tough times, and I have cherished the changes brought on by my own growth.

My goals for you

My approach is to keep communication open and fluid. Treatment goals will change over time as we work together to make progress towards a healthier version of you. We will set goals together and review them as we build resiliency and coping.

Our first session

After the initial assessment, we'll spend time gathering history, allowing honest communication, and working towards trust and understanding. Besides setting goals, I want to understand what changes will lead you to your improved state of living.
