Hi! My name is Natalia Clifford LMFT 97534. I like to approach each person as an individual and do not believe there is one cookie cutter approach to all. That being said, in my practice I have implemented Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems Theory . I have worked with clients who span from adolescents to seniors with presenting concerns ranging from anxiety and depression to phase of life changes and work/family stress to trauma, historical and recent.

I have worked with clients who span from adolescents to seniors with presenting concerns ranging from anxiety and depression to phase of life changes and work/family stress to trauma, historical and recent.
I also incorporate behavioral approaches to generate strategies and help clients gain coping skills when they are too overwhelmed and need to decrease stress before trying to further understand themselves and their relationships.
My history has enabled me to understand and support people with complex backgrounds. I come from a multi-cultural blended family whose individuals differed tremendously. At a young age I recognized the complexity of human identity as I tried to navigate being part of two cultures when I became an immigrant at the age of 14. Now as a therapist, I have gained knowledge and experience to support children and families in learning how to understand and communicate with one another, as well as individuals and couples going through difficult life stages. I hope to be part of your journey of growth and wellness.

I have extensive experience working with those managing depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma, along with relationship and attachment issues, intimacy related issues, coping with life changes, mood instability, negative self-talk and self-esteem, personal growth, and addressing irrational beliefs.
We all have our own stories that are filled with our experiences, strengths, and challenges, and we move at our own pace and time.

You are the expert of your own life, and I am here to offer support, care, guidance, and courage along the way. I believe in collaboration, and will work with you to address the issues presented in therapy and develop treatment goals. Together we will make the space to create the life you want.

I find that my style and approach fit best with young adults 25 and up struggling with depression, anxiety, work stress, and trauma.
Hi there, my name is Lytara Garcia and I am an LCSW in California via telehealth. I have experience in working with various age groups including children as young as 4 years to adults as young as 80 years old and older. I have various training in cognitive behavioral therapy (challenging negative thoughts, understanding your emotions and behaviors), Solution Focused Therapy (goal focus), harm reduction, and mindfulness working with adults 25+. I've worked with adults transitioning back into the civilian world after incarceration (so trauma and life-skills informed).

We all long for deep, authentic connections, but we can often get stuck in old trauma-based patterns with those we love. We end up sacrificing our needs, avoiding vulnerability, or "acting out" in ways we don't understand. I enjoy helping people learn to trust their intuition, build self-esteem, communicate effectively, and create meaningful boundaries and connections in relationships. I work with individuals and couples of all ages, backgrounds, and identities. Together, we can identify new tools for navigating anxiety, depression, stress, and bodily symptoms rooted in unresolved trauma.

Evidence-based approaches are practiced including EMDR, The Flash Technique, Somatic work, and MB-CBT to resolve anxiety, trauma, panic, chronic stress, and relational wounds.
If you have been struggling with anxiety, panic, stress, trauma, or phobias you have landed in the right place. I have had the honor of helping people overcome their struggles for more than 22 years and regain a greater sense of well-being. Several evidence-based trauma-informed approaches are used but I believe the therapeutic relationship is a key factor in the therapy process. I aim to provide a therapeutic space that feels accepting, warm, empowering, and engaging while always bearing in mind the need for trust and safety at the center of our work together.
