Sade Christian, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Sade!

I use a holistic approach in therapy, exploring the impact of systems and environment on the person and their functioning. My areas of focus are trauma, anxiety, depression, attachment, and adjustment.

My focus

I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families addressing trauma, depression, anxiety, attachment, relationships, and grief.

My approach

I believe therapy is a partnership that requires dedication and honesty. In my treatment, I utilize motivational interviewing, CBT, PCIT, and psychodynamic therapies to support my clients as appropriate.

My communication style

Working with me is like an exploratory conversation where you can identify your intrinsic skills and learn the necessary coping skills to meet your identified goals. I understand the need for solution-focused therapy as well as the importance of acknowledging behavior patterns and etiologies.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I know the importance of accessibility and representation in the field of mental health and hope to be a comfortable landing place for women and BIPOC populations.

My goals for you

I am a firm believer in meeting the clients where they are and working collaboratively to identify goals and change them when necessary to meet the needs of the client.

Our first session

During your first session, you should expect to discuss why you came to therapy and what you hope to gain from this experience. You should also be ready to communicate any concerns or questions you have about the therapeutic process and relationship.
