Darlene Meza, AMFT, APCC

Hello :) My name is Darlene Meza (they/them/elle), and I offer 100% telehealth therapy via video to clients anywhere in California! I use a trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and LGBTQIA+ affirming approach in my work with individuals, teens, couples, and families. My practice is integrative and rooted in compassion—I blend Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and somatic practices like mindfulness, movement, yoga, and meditation to support your healing and growth. I specialize in working with clients navigating trauma, identity exploration (including gender and sexuality), anxiety, emotional regulation, relationship dynamics, and personal or spiritual growth. My therapeutic space is inclusive, sex-positive, kink-affirming, and welcoming of all relationship structures, including polyamorous partnerships. As a bilingual therapist (English/Spanish) with lived and professional experience in serving LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, Native, and military-connected communities, I strive to create a space where you feel safe, seen, and empowered to reconnect with your true self. If you’re looking for a therapist who values authenticity, cultural humility, and deep trust, I’d love to connect. Reach out or schedule a free 15-minute video consultation—if you don’t see a time that works, feel free to message me! I’m a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT#154014) and a Registered Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC#19061), supervised by J’Quaysha Tucker, LMFT #110419, LPCC #8968.
