Huma Pekcan, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Huma!

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California. Currently, I am also pursuing my PhD degree in Clinical Psychology. My therapeutic approach revolves around helping individuals explore their narratives and facilitating growth in their lives. When you work with me, we will take the time to thoroughly assess your situation.

My focus

I am deeply passionate about working with clients who are willing to delve into their stories and experiences. My focus areas encompass a wide range of issues that affect individuals and families, including but not limited to trauma, anxiety, and depression, relationship difficulties, communication problems, personal growth, and life transitions.

My approach

I believe in tailoring the treatment to meet each client's specific needs. To achieve this, I integrate various therapeutic interventions based on individual requirements. My primary modalities include psychodynamic therapy and evidence-based practices.

My communication style

My approach to therapy is centered on creating a safe and compassionate space where you can feel understood, empowered, and supported throughout your journey toward positive change and personal transformation.

My journey to mental healthcare

What drew me to a career as a therapist is my deep passion for understanding the human experience and connecting with my clients on a genuine level. I find immense fulfillment in building strong therapeutic relationships that foster growth and healing. My approach to therapy is characterized by warmth, empathy, and engagement.

My goals for you

I take a collaborative approach to goal setting. Together, we'll conduct a thorough assessment, identify strengths and growth areas, and set clear, meaningful, and achievable goals. I'll provide guidance and support while empowering you to overcome obstacles.

Our first session

During your first session with me, you'll experience a warm and welcoming environment where you can openly share your story and concerns. I will introduce myself and my therapeutic approach, addressing any initial questions you may have. Actively listening without judgment, I'll seek to understand your experiences and background.
