Veronica Wadsworth, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Veronica!

I work with couples, families, and children to provide the emotional skills and understanding necessary to thrive and heal. I'm convinced we don't need to live as captives to trauma or our past, but can grow and become stronger and healthier than ever before.

My focus

I help couples, individuals, and children work through the difficult parts of connection and bring their full selves into relationships. I'll help you understand who you are, what your goals are, and how to grow closer to the most meaningful relationships in your life.

My approach

I take a client-centered approach, listening with empathy and providing a safe space where we can work together to understand your particular situation and goals. As we gain understanding, I provide tools and support to enable you to thrive.

My communication style

I prioritize active listening, providing a safe space where you can be understood, and giving you the opportunity to reflect on your particular situation. As we work on the difficulties of living in relationship, I listen with empathy and understanding.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey began when I worked at a nonprofit supporting immigrant families. I saw the traumas, misunderstandings, and difficulties involved in their situations firsthand, and I also began to see how therapy can help address these issues. I'm convinced that healing is possible, and when we heal, it brings benefits to the entire family.

My goals for you

When we first meet, we'll discuss your overall goals for therapy. As we work together, we'll focus on finding and setting specific goals that help orient you towards those overall goals. I view therapy as a partnership where we work to understand where you are and where you want to go.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know each other. I'll explain the general process of therapy and answer any questions you might have. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy and what you hope to accomplish. This can be a scary process, and I want to reassure you that the feeling is completely normal.
