Therapists in California

Are you a working professional who is just feeling the stressors of work and everyday life? It’s hard to be able to juggle it all and still somehow try to find time for yourself. Sometimes life just feels like a lot, bad day at work, a fight with a partner or loved one, difficult day with the kids, a triggered emotion that came out of nowhere, or just not enough time in the day to get everything done. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over fifteen years of experience in the field. I work with adults who have difficulty in their day-to-day life, including work stress, motherhood, burn out, and relationship issues. I also incorporate trauma and inner child work. Let’s sit down together and sort it all out. I’m a non-judgmental ear to listen, a sounding board to bounce ideas off, and a safe space for you to have a moment to just be.

Hello! My name is Lindsey Wehn and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the State of California. I am so happy to be here to support others as they go through difficult times in their lives, for those who want to make changes, or for those who just want someone for a little extra emotional support. I'm thrilled that the BetterHelp platform is here to open up therapy to so many more people. We are not limited by location and time anymore, and we have the added benefit of messaging in between sessions. (Please note that my license restricts me to only seeing clients who are physically in California. I unfortunately cannot see you if you are traveling out of state.) In my work, one of the biggest issues I see with others is a lack of self confidence. This lack of confidence can lead to many different other issues, such as depression, anxiety, low self esteem, and problems in social, family and work environments. When one is willing and able to address where these self confidence issues are coming from and how they are manifesting in one’s life now, we can work together to bring on more self acceptance and internal peace. I’m a big believer in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) combined with Mindfulness approaches. While CBT challenges your thoughts in order to change how you are feeling, mindfulness begs for you to stay in the present without changing anything. How can these two concepts make sense together? Mindfulness teaches us how to get in touch with what the feeling is without judgment and with acceptance. CBT teaches us to observe, evaluate, understand, and change our thoughts if they are maladaptive. There is so much here we can delve into as we work together. I always employ a Person Centered approach, which means I bring in non-judgment and non- bias, and work hard to understand your issue and where you are coming from. I also think it’s really important that you feel comfortable with me. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most important part of therapy in order for you to reach your goals. If you can trust me and feel comfortable expressing things to me, you will be much more likely to benefit from this experience. If you are a parent: One of my passions is working with individuals on parenting issues and helping them build strong connections with their families. I’ve learned a lot through my work, through research, and through personal experience as a parent that our old views on discipline just don’t work and do not help to build emotionally healthy and successful children. Not only do I help others learn new ways of interacting with their children to build happier, healthier homes, but I help you uncover why parenting can be so difficult at times. How we were raised and what’s going on for us in our lives play a big role in how we parent our children in the present. If you are a parent and you feel like things could improve, I would love to help with this. Therapy is what you make of it, and the more you are engaged in the process, the more you will benefit. My suggestion is that you utilize both the ability to message me at any time, and schedule sessions with me (video, chat or phone) as they fit your schedule. On a more personal level, I live in Northern California with my husband and two young daughters. I have 2 dogs and 4 cats. I love hiking and being outdoors. I have been Licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist since 2012, though have been working in this field since 2005 in various settings. I have experience in family therapy, working with children, in particular those dealing with trauma, individual and group therapy with children, adolescents and adults; case management working with adults with severe mental illnesses in a supported living environment; and emancipated foster youth (ages 16-24). I earned my BA in Psychology from UC Santa Barbara in 2004, and my MA in Psychology from Chapman University College in 2007. I am happy to be here to build relationships with others, and hopefully help them feel more content and happy in their lives. I look forward to meeting you! -Lindsey Wehn, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
