Getting to know Larissa McCain

My name is Larissa McCain, LMFT, PMH-C. I believe therapy is a collaborative experience between client and therapist, creating a safe space to exhale the negative and make room for positive change. I specialize in perinatal and maternal mental health, parenthood, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I hold a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of San Diego, which has equipped me to support individuals and families through complex emotional challenges. My approach includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Supportive and Client-Centered Therapy. I have extensive training and experience addressing perinatal mental health issues such as pregnancy and infertility, miscarriage and stillbirth, adjustment to parenthood, identity shifts, and challenges faced by working parents. Additionally, I work with anxiety, depression, and trauma. I offer clients a safe, nonjudgmental space where they don’t have to filter or censor their thoughts. Even if unsure what to say, they can share freely, and together we’ll make sense of it. While I bring clinical expertise, I view clients as the experts of their own lives, fostering a strong collaborative environment. My journey to mental healthcare began in high school when I met an inspiring school counselor. Since then, I’ve been motivated to learn from others and honored to support clients through difficult times. I believe everyone deserves a space focused solely on their mental health and well-being. I understand that goals look different for everyone—there is no “one size fits all.” Goals should be manageable and sustainable within each person’s lifestyle. Our first session is a “get to know you” meeting where we begin building our therapeutic relationship. We’ll discuss your background, safety concerns, main goals, and I’ll answer any questions you have.
