Judith Sorto, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Judith!

I work with adolescents and adults and specialize in anxiety, depression, and trauma. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-focused approaches to help clients make positive changes and live a more fulfilling life.

My focus

I enjoy working with teens and adults of all ages who are dealing with life transitions, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and trauma. I work in collaboration with clients to help navigate challenging times and achieve positive growth, and develop healthy relationships and coping skills.

My approach

My approach is tailored to the needs of each individual. I use Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused methods to help you get through life stressors, identify and reframe negative and unhelpful thoughts, and make positive changes in life.

My communication style

My communication style is calm, supportive, and respectful. I want my clients to feel safe and comfortable while in session with me. I am passionate about creating a space without judgment where each individual feels comfortable.

My journey to mental healthcare

I decided to become a therapist because I enjoy helping people. I always enjoyed providing a safe place for people to share their struggles and help find solutions. I wanted to become a therapist to create a safe and inviting space for individuals to feel supported in achieving the life they deserve.

My goals for you

I take a collaborative approach to goal setting. I will work with you to create an achievable, comfortable, and effective treatment plan. We will work together to set goals and track progress.

Our first session

During our first session, you can expect a safe and trusting space where we will explore your feelings, current stressors, and life transitions. We will spend most of the first meeting talking about how you have been feeling and answering questions that will allow me to get to know you better and develop a positive therapeutic relationship.
