Maria Cancelada, LCSW

Psychotherapist
CA
Making the decision to start therapy is not an easy journey. My role is to provide a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, learn new coping skills, and work towards positive change. I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. I take a client-centered, collaborative approach to therapy, tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals. We will work together to identify areas you'd like to focus on and develop a treatment plan that aligns with your preferences and aspirations. My approach I use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors contributing to mental health challenges. With dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), the goal is to help people learn skills to manage emotions, improve relationships, and build a life worth living. I also incorporate mindfulness, fostering awareness of internal states and surroundings. My focus I treat each person as a unique individual, providing unconditional acceptance and support regardless of personal struggles or circumstances. My communication style I emphasize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and provide a safe space to work through challenging situations. My journey to mental healthcare I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Eastern Washington University and have worked in this field for many years. I am passionate about helping others and have extensive experience across diverse settings, working with a wide range of populations. I strive to create a supportive and collaborative therapeutic environment where clients feel empowered and heard. My goals for you I believe therapy is a collaboration between client and provider. My goal is to provide comprehensive, compassionate care tailored to each individual's unique needs.
