More about Lovinda

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!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
