Christiana Metzenbaum, LMFT

As your therapist, I believe you're the expert of your own life. Together, we'll work collaboratively to identify changes you'd like to make and develop a personalized plan to achieve them. My job is to help you see the changes that are possible by assessing and implementing different interventions, as well as using coping and self-care skills to assist in making those changes a reality. My hope is that when you leave our sessions, you'll feel supported in continuing on your journey.

Licensed in California and Washington.

With over a decade of experience as a licensed therapist, I've worked in varying settings with diverse populations. My specialty areas include anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and relational issues with family, partners, work peers, and friends. I'm also dedicated to serving the LGBTQIA+ community.

Having been in therapy myself, I understand the daunting task of confronting the parts of ourselves that we've long suppressed or hidden away. My approach is built on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can be yourself, without fear of criticism or rejection. By fostering a relationship grounded in trust, open-minded curiosity, and client empowerment, I’ll support you to take an active role in your therapy. Together, we'll explore innovative strategies to achieve your goals—every step of the way.

As a compassionate guide, I aim to empower, affirm, and validate my clients throughout our collaborative journey. By incorporating approaches such as CBT, solution-focused, and person-centered methods, I help you unlock your full potential. Together, we'll identify and implement effective interventions, develop coping strategies, and cultivate self-care habits to make meaningful changes a reality.

My job is to help you see the changes that are possible by assessing and implementing different interventions, as well as using coping and self-care skills to assist in making those changes a reality. My intent is to equip you with the tools and confidence to continue making progress long after our sessions conclude.

Our first goal is to identify what areas of your life you want to see change. Together, we will explore the best ways to move forward to be most beneficial to your long term desires. Working on building a strong therapeutic relationship will allow me to gently confront the parts that aren't working and help to discover the parts that do.
