Getting to know Liane Lester

Hi there, I'm Rasila Lester! I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master's in Clinical Psychology from Azusa Pacific University. I focus on you and your relationships. A session with me is meant to help you process and think about your relationships with family, friends, your living environment, work, entertainment, significant others, and yourself. Let's talk. My approach I'm a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist who takes a Rogerian approach. My focus Most of the clients I've worked with have been dealing with depression. Various aspects of life-work, finances, relationships-can feel overwhelming. Many have turned to negative coping mechanisms that have led to addiction and destructive consequences, such as drugs, alcohol, and sex. I want to help you find positive, self-affirming coping strategies like exercise, fun and affordable activities, and building healthy relationships. My communication style I like to communicate openly. I'm someone you can talk with and process ideas alongside. My journey to mental healthcare I graduated with a degree in communications and once dreamed of being a world-famous actress. Life had different plans after I suffered a traumatic brain injury in a car accident. My life changed direction, and I learned the importance of friends, family, and support. The resources are out there-you just have to figure out what you want and find a healthy, productive way to achieve it. My goals for you Tell me what you want, and we'll figure out what needs to be done and how long it will take to achieve your goals or at least get you started in the right direction. My first session with you The first session is simply a ?get to know you? meeting and an opportunity to gather general information to see if we're compatible. Hopefully, it will provide a sense of direction and a plan to guide the steps needed to achieve your goals.
