Getting to know Lina Vielma

*** Please do not book if you have Medi-Cal. I only accept Aetna, Optum, Cigna, Blue Cross PPO, Blue Shield PPO, Tricare, and TriWest at this time. *** ***** Please provide the following information upon booking: 1. Address 2. Copy of your insurance card (Group ID and Membership ID number) I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pacific Oaks College and a Bachelor's degree from the University of California, Riverside. I love learning and building competencies in my field. I enjoy reading, journaling, and taking good care of my health. Spirituality, authenticity, and exploring new points of view are important to me. I love inspiring my clients toward their goals and provide helpful ideas and worksheets. I like sessions to flow naturally with whatever is pressing on the client's mind and heart.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Please contact me at soefamilytherapy.org and I can verify your insurance immediately. I accept Aetna, Optum. Cigna, Bluecross PPO, Bluesheild PPO, Tricare, Triwest at this time. I love helping clients feel supported and inspiring them with ideas for change. I value people. Initially, I started working with children with autism. I started to study and take interest in the importance of motivation. I love helping clients learn what motivates them, identify their goals, and move toward them. I find so much joy working with clients at their pace. My mother is full Navajo Native American Indian, and my father is Filipino. I grew up as an only child; my mother is from the Navajo reservation and my dad is Filipino. I understand and love learning about different cultures. For example, I understand what Navajos value and I am okay with silent pauses and ensuring that the client is fully understood. I enjoy making my clients feel important, supported and valued.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My intake process flows smoothly. I enjoy making my clients feel heard, understood and most importantly, I want my clients to feel supported. During my intakes, I must gather all the information to form a complete and thorough intake. During sessions, I love to discuss ideas different ways to respond to life’s struggles. It is easy to fall into unhealthy patterns of thinking. I want my clients to know they do not have to face problems alone. I enjoy tracking progress and reviewing it along the way. Every three months, I like to remind my clients of their progress. I assign homework, but I like each session to go with the flow of whatever is pressing on the client's mind and heart.

I'm satisfied with my visit because I'm able to understand my emotions better. I have a safe place to process old traumas.
As in all visits I felt comfortable and able to be open. Lina is very welcoming.
I think Lina is great and easy to talk to. I genuinely feel like she wants to help me :)
Great ! She is very helpful & open. Provides excellent and sale feedback.
Lina has been extremely helpful in understanding why I struggle with the issues that I do. Shes a great listener and helps break down the issues that I face in a comprehensible way.
When I first came to Lina's office, I was barely able to manage the anxiety caused by my traumatic childhood. From the very first session, I began to feel better and notice improvements in my life. The sleepless nights and insomnia associated with my anxiety became less common and, within a few weeks, stopped altogether. I not only noticed a growing, newfound ability to manage my anxiety, I also realized that the persistent physical pain I was experiencing in my body began to improve as well. I am filled with both gratitude and awe at how quickly treatment has improved both my physical and mental wellbeing.
Lina is very thoughtful and present in all the discussions. She truly listens to your concerns and works with you at a pace that you are comfortable with. By offering both virtual and in person sessions, she provides optimal opportunities to have productive conversations. It is really important to have a comfortable, peaceful enironment for dicussions and she truely creates an open space for that to happen. She is very kind and geniune and I really look foward to contuing my health and wellness journey with her! :)
I found my care provider, Lina Vielma, to be prompt, prepared, and easy to meet. Her office was inviting and comfortable. It was a good place to be.
Lina has been an incredibly positive influence in my life. Over the course of nearly two months under her guidance, I've experienced a remarkable transformat when face with the dauthg took of speaking at m church - a prospect that previously filled me with intense fea-- Lina provided invaluable coaching and support.
LINA DID A WONDERFUL JOB OF PROVIDING ME WITH THE TOOLS I NEEDED TO COPE WITH A LIFE LONG HISTORY OF ANXIETY ISSUES. MY EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IS MUCH STRONGER BECAUSE OF THE SESSIONS.
Lina is very professional. She made me feel very comfortable in our sessions. She was very helpful to me and easy to talk to. She took all my concerns seriously.
Lina is always extremely kind, patient, and incredibly helpful. She is always on time and always creates a friendly atmosphere where I feel comfortable. Since starting therapy with Lina, I have improved significantly with self-esteem and interactions with others. I cannot thank her enough.
Lina has shown great compassion and attentiveness throughout all of my sessions. Consistently offers new insights into my struggles and helps me to reflect effectively.
Lina is the most genuine therapist imaginable. I don't feel like a patient under her care; I feel like a being. Lina has helped me make incredible strides in dealing with some of the most difficult challenges in my life. I truly could not have found a better therapist.
I came to Dr. Vielma suffering from low self-esteem and PTSD from previous trauma and a misdiagnosis of autism from a family doctor. She has worked hard at helping me get better. She is an excellent therapist and I am so grateful that she has helped and continues to help me get better
I don’t know where to start, but all I will say is Lina is one of the best therapist I have ever had, she is an amazing listener. I have no complains at all, I would highly recommend her. I myself being a 27 year old was a bit spectacle ?to try a new therapist on here but I am glad I did, I really do feel like Lina has really helped me overcome some of my darkest moments. She also has and continues to help me understand the roots of my issues. Psff she is just a wonderful person to talk to about my problems. I know she will be reading this and when she does I just want to say thank you and I look forward to our next session. ?

Lina is by far the best therapist I have ever met. She has an amazing energy, asks all the right questions, and is very attentive. She is a great listener and remembers the small details which I really appreciate. I felt very comfortable with her early on and I have seen so much improvement in my mental health since I started seeing her.
I have had several therapy sessions with Lina and as someone who in therapy for the 1st time I thought it would be difficult to open up but Lina made me you feel extremely comfortable to open up. She is very supportive, kind and friendly. She provides a safe and non-judgmental environment that helps me open up and also look forward to my next therapy sessions. She keeps things at a comfortable pace and provides very easy and doable steps to any problem. I am feel more hopeful and encouraged to venture into uncomfortable feelings and memories. Overall I have had a very positive experience and plan continue to taking more sessions.

As my therapist, Lina has always felt very professional, inviting, and safe. She has supported me through many difficult moments and has empowered me to take control of my well-being. She strikes a strong balance between carefully listening to the issues that I am facing in my life and helping guide me through my approach to these issues.
Lina is great. She is kind and gives constructive feedback. She helps me navigate through things I need help with and also pushed me to grow emotionally. I look forward to my sessions with her.
I have been meeting virtually with Lina for a few months now and it has really helped me to grow positively within my mental health journey and also in my walk with God. Lina has great communication skills, and is very kind. I appreciate that she takes her time with me and she makes me feel safe, heard, and valued. I noticed that my depression and anxiety have decreased and I am excited to keep growing.
I was able to schedule a few appointments with Lina during a time of crisis. It was so easy to use ZocDoc to find her availability and set up an appointment with little turnaround time. Lina is warm, easy to talk to, and obviously caring. She even checked up on me a few months after our appointments had concluded to make sure I was doing okay and had support. I would trust Lina to provide care and support to any friend or family member!
liking the first therapist you find is not guaranteed, which means i got extremely lucky with lina. she is amazing and i look forward to achieving my goals with her.

I loved my intake visit! Lina was warm, welcoming, and made the environment as comfortable as possible. I have seen therapists in the past, and Lina has really helped make me excited to continue my health and wellness journey. I look forward to learning more tools and uncovering more together.
Everything was great! Lina is very understanding, listens to thing I am expressing, & cares about me as a patient. The environment is very safe and allows me to be comfortable.
Lina has been so helpful for me in overcoming deep-seated anxiety and trauma. She has a very insightful, big-picture outlook that helps me focus on the core issues. She has helped me heal from the death of a friend. Overall, she has given me hope & confidence in life and keeps me focused on my goals!
Dr Vielma's personality & professionalism led to a safe, comfortable environment, where we can work together to identify goals and create a plan to achieve them.
The appointment logistics(booking apts, virtual connections, etc.) were seamless Lina has a very calming presence and is easy to talk/open up to right away
My visits are always a pleasure, very convenient, and comfortable to be in. I enjoy my sessions with Lina and would highly recommend her to my friends and family, I very much enjoy her company and support. Very easy to talk to, like a close friend or family member.
I am really looking forward to the growth that will take place from spending time with Lina. I can already feel a difference in my mood from only 2 sessions with her.
The appointment went really well, there were no connection disruptions. It is comforting and convenient for me to be able to attend my appointment while being home with the baby.
I found Lina Vielma to be an empathetic, thoughtful, active listener. I felt connected to her as early as our first session. She is a calming presence and provides the balance of encouragement and support I'm looking for in a counselor. I'm grateful for my sessions with her so far and I look forward to growing as a person under her counsel.
Lina is a great therapist! She is very kind and helpful at working through challenges you are experiencing in a non-judge mental way.
