Getting to know Amanda Larraga

My name is Amanda Larraga, and I reside in Southern California. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from National University. My main therapeutic approaches are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy. I have spent most of my time working with adolescents and their families, addressing depression, anxiety, and stress to help my clients feel better and progress in life. My approach My therapeutic approach is heavily focused on cognitive behavioral therapy as well as client-centered therapy. I believe the balance of the two creates a dynamic client-therapist relationship. My focus I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults treating depression, stress, and anxiety. My communication style I often display a warm and calm tone when working with my clients. I engage honestly and can also be directive if that fits my clients' needs. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a therapist began with a desire to help and support adolescents who felt they did not have a voice and needed assistance in self-advocating their needs in both peer and family relationships. I have worked primarily for school districts and have also spent time in community mental health, supporting children, adolescents, young adults, and their families. I love being a safe place for my clients to feel unapologetically themselves while assisting them in recognizing what is no longer working in their lives. My goals for you My approach to goal setting is collaborative, beginning with building rapport early in the therapeutic relationship. During our time together, we will work on setting goals and regularly checking in on your progress. My first session with you Clients should expect a client-centered approach that provides a safe place for their thoughts to be heard and validated. I often spend a lot of time building rapport in a supportive and unbiased environment.
