Lia Ek, LCSW

Lia Ek, LCSW

Psychotherapist
CA
When we live in a society obsessed with happiness and perfection, it is not uncommon to feel inadequate. You are not broken. You are valuable and worthy of love. I help my clients not to live perfect lives, but to live meaningful ones. I am here to help you navigate issues related to everyday life stressors, adjusting to new challenges, roles, and situations, anxiety, depression, substance use, postpartum depression, and relationship issues. Choosing a therapist can be overwhelming. I believe you should find someone you feel comfortable working with. This can take some time, but it is worth it. I have worked with clients of all ages across the lifespan, from infancy to adulthood. I have also had the opportunity to work in a variety of settings, from community residential programs to outpatient clinics and even in state prisons serving inmates with severe mental health disorders. I am bilingual and able to provide services in Spanish. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Sacramento, I understand that what works for some may not work for others. That is why I follow an eclectic approach. I have been trained in a variety of modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Brief Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy, among others. Together, we can choose interventions that are specifically helpful to you. I will meet you where you are in this process.
