Roberto Ma, LMFT

Marriage and Family Therapist
CA
Marriage and Family Therapy is my second career, and the path that brought me here was both unexpected and deeply meaningful. Growing up, I had little understanding of how profoundly mental health shapes our lives, yet I’ve always felt a strong desire to help others. Life’s unpredictability reminds me that we live moment by moment, learning and growing as we go. My hope is that each person I meet in therapy continues their journey with courage and compassion for themselves, moving forward on their own unique journey.

Getting to know Roberto Ma

Marriage and Family Therapy is my second career, and the path that brought me here was both unexpected and deeply meaningful. Growing up, I had little understanding of how profoundly mental health shapes our lives, yet I’ve always felt a strong desire to help others. Life’s unpredictability reminds me that we live moment by moment, learning and growing as we go. My hope is that each person I meet in therapy continues their journey with courage and compassion for themselves, moving forward on their own unique journey.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Prior starting my private practice, I worked at a non-profit agency in various settings (outpatient clinic and school sites) and different roles (from therapist, family counselor to Director of an outpatient program). I also volunteered my time providing therapy to Spanish speaking clients in the community.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My approach is holistic, compassionate, and tailored to you. I draw from a strengths-based, person-centered, and trauma-informed perspective. I believe therapy works best when it fits who you are, so I adjust our work together based on your unique needs and goals. I use evidence-based methods such as CBT, DBT, and solution-focused approaches—and sometimes integrate creative tools.
