Hello! My name is Lovinda and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working and supporting individuals and families over the last 5 years. I received my graduate school education at The Wright Institute located in Berkley, California and my undergraduate education in Childhood Development at California State University Eastbay. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting challenges, career challenges, ADHD and more. I have also helped many people who have experienced childhood trauma and self esteem challenges.
My counseling style is warm, interactive, and down to Earth. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and family counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to reach out so the fact that you are considering it speaks volumes. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
