I love mental health. I love listening to people and diving into the challenges my clients face on a daily basis. I am humbled with the invitation to join your journey, and help you learn how to help yourself. We all have the tools to undertake the obstacles that we encounter; sometimes we need someone to help us take a step back to find a different perspective. I appreciate the bravery and courage that it takes for each of my clients to let me into their lives and become vulnerable with me.
When I was a kid, I often got in trouble for being too loud with asking questions and calling adults out on things that didn’t seem fair to me. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been an advocate of some kind. A career in social work, then, made total sense to me when I discovered the field as an undergraduate at San Jose State.
Two more degrees and a license later, I still carry the spirit of that little girl, fighting for the underserved. I have a long history of diagnosing and treating adults with severe and chronic mental illness. I take my work very seriously and it’s important to me to help my clients heal, grow, and thrive.
My clients seek my services as a way to recuperate from lifetimes of overworking themselves into worthiness. I guide them toward unlearning the things that taught them they weren’t enough. I give them the tools they need to create wellness and wholeness in a way that’s unique to who they are.
Through my private practice and my brand, Therapy is a Lifestyle, I want to help you see yourself in new ways - without the lens of your trauma. I specialize in anxiety disorders, EMDR, and other trauma-informed approaches to help you do that.
Let’s take the journey toward your recovery, together. Being here is your first step!
Hi, I'm Magda. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master's degree from Antioch University Los Angeles.

When working with clients, I strive to make the therapy experience respectful and genuine. Everyone's journey to personal resilience is unique and there is no one size fits all solution.

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.
