Karry Friedman, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Karry!

My approach to therapy is eclectic, as I believe that every individual has their own path and experiences their own journey in a different way. I implement various modalities of therapy to fit the needs of my clients.

My focus

I enjoy working with adults and elder adult clients. I have extensive experience treating clients suffering from Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, life transition challenges, as well as women's issues.

My approach

There are multiple theoretical approaches that I use in my work with my clients. However, I do find that client-centered, strength-based, as well as evidence-based approaches, such as CBT and DBT, are very effective across a continuum of various problems presented in therapy.

My communication style

My communication style is supportive and collaborative. I believe a truly skilled therapist listens very carefully before providing feedback. I provide a calm, safe environment where my clients feel heard and supported.

My journey to mental healthcare

I am driven by the emotionally rewarding nature of being a therapist. I enjoy supporting individuals in their life journey, as I believe no journey is without a challenge. Life ebbs and flows, and often presents hurdles in our paths that are difficult to manage.

My goals for you

I set individualized goals with my clients collaboratively. I gather information that reflects their needs and challenges, and we work together to set desired goals and work toward them. I provide guidance and support in helping my clients reach the goals we create together.

Our first session

During the first session, I engage in information gathering with my clients to ascertain their needs for our future sessions. I answer any questions clients may have in order to provide a safe, transparent environment, as well as to begin building rapport.
