As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I specialize in working with adults with stress, depression, and anxiety. I also work with couples and families to improve communication, lessen conflict, and create healthy family dynamics.

I am dedicated to helping individuals make meaningful, lasting changes by developing coping skills that fit their unique life experiences. With over 20 years of experience in addiction treatment and mental health services, I bring a grounded, compassionate, and client‐centered approach to therapy. I believe that you know yourself better than anyone else, and my role is to support you in uncovering your strengths, healing from past experiences, and building a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling.

My specialties include substance use disorders, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, and co‐occurring mental health challenges. I am committed to helping clients improve their relationships, reduce stress, and strengthen their sense of self‐worth. I focus on the whole person—mind, body, and environment—because growth in one area naturally supports growth in all others.

I'm not here to just listen while you talk — I'm here to work with you. I show up warm, engaged, and genuinely invested in your growth. I'll ask thoughtful questions, offer honest feedback, and, when the moment feels right, gently challenge the beliefs or behaviors that may be keeping you stuck. You'll always feel heard and respected here, never judged.

I'm Caterina Amici, a newly Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California. I hold a Master of Social Work in Community Mental Health from California State University, Fullerton. Over the past four years I have worked directly with adults and youth in trauma and crisis settings, most recently as a therapist at the Huntington Beach Youth Shelter and previously at the Long Beach Trauma Recovery Center. I have seen what happens when life stress, family problems, and trauma events compound and become difficult to manage on your own. That drives why I do this work. In my private practice, I specialize in working with adolescents navigating anxiety, life transitions, and the everyday pressures of growing up. I see clients via telehealth across California with availability on Wednesday mornings, Fridays, and Saturdays. I look forward to seeing if we are a good fit.

As an Asian American growing up overseas, I bring cultural considerations and my multicultural experiences into the therapy process.
