Getting to know Paola Gancman

Hi there, I'm Paola! My name is Paola Gancman. I am a licensed psychotherapist (LMFT #150484) with a Master’s in Clinical Psychology, Marriage, and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University. I have over 20 years of experience working in education and psychology. I have a private practice where I work with women, parents, teens, young adults, and couples. Originally from Argentina, I offer therapy in both English and Spanish. My approach My therapeutic approach is psychodynamic and trauma-informed. Over the years, I have become a better listener, which allows me to paint a more accurate picture of the people I meet. I am deeply intrigued by human behavior and truly believe that we all have the capacity to change by giving ourselves the time and opportunity to find our own direction in this fast-paced world. My focus I work with women, parents, teens, young adults, and couples. My communication style I use an empathic and supportive approach to assist clients through their therapeutic journey. I meet clients where they are and work alongside them toward where they want to be. My journey to mental healthcare I am observant, understanding, patient, and compassionate. Throughout the years, improving my listening skills has helped me better understand the people I meet. I am fascinated by human behavior and believe in everyone’s ability to change by allowing themselves the chance to discover their own path. My goals for you I meet clients where they are and support them on their journey to where they want to go. I help keep clients focused by creating SMART goals, providing different tools, and maintaining honesty throughout their work. My first session with you In the first session, I create a comfortable environment where new clients can openly describe what they are looking for in therapy.
