I work with adults navigating trauma, burnout, identity, and the particular exhaustion of being a sensitive person in a fast-changing world. My work goes beyond talk therapy to build a flexible nervous system, helping to regulate it, reduce symptoms of trauma, and build resilience.
Many of the people I work with are doing everything right on paper. They are the ones who keep showing up, holding it together, being the person everyone else leans on. And they are exhausted in a way that is hard to explain to the people around them. They worry they are making the wrong choices or that everyone else has it together.
Your goals are most important to me, but I do recommend goals when needed. I accept you just as you are. I will work together with you to achieve an improved quality of life. I have over 30 years experience working in mental health counseling, and 10 1/2 years as a licensed provider. In that time, I have learned to use a variety of modalities. I tailor the type of therapy to my client and to his/her needs, so I might introduce more than one type during our work together. The issues I work with most include depression, anxiety, and trauma, I am also certified in addiction recovery, and neurodivergent issues.
Hi, I'm Magda. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master's degree from Antioch University Los Angeles.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Long Beach, CA
Searching for ADHD therapists in Long Beach starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapy for ADHD may focus on executive function skills, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, emotional regulation strategies, planning, time management, and support for related concerns like anxiety, depression, or relationship stress. Medication management is different from therapy and is usually offered by a psychiatrist or other qualified prescriber. Some people look for one type of care, and some work with both. Adult ADHD and pediatric ADHD can also call for different experience, so review each therapist’s listed specialties and bio to see whether their background matches your needs.
Long Beach offers a range of local therapists, with access that can vary by neighborhood, schedule, and appointment type. In-person care may be useful if you prefer an office setting, while virtual sessions can widen your options across California and make it easier to find an ADHD specialist with the right training. As you compare therapists, look at availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe their approach to ADHD and co-occurring concerns. A bio can also help you understand communication style, session structure, and whether the therapist works with concerns that often appear alongside ADHD.
Therapy in Long Beach can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, compare virtual and in-person options, and enter your insurance details to see estimated costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage based on your plan and location as you browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
