I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist providing services to clients within the State of California. I have over 19 years of experience providing services to adults, children, couples, families, and groups in a variety of settings. My approach to therapy is to provide a safe and nurturing environment for clients while using a combination of client-centered, solution-focused, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioral modalities.

I understand that everyone needs and deserves a safe, trusting space to process the human experience. I believe that each individual experience is unique, while also understanding that no one should feel alone or that what they feel or need is wrong or abnormal. I help my clients feel empowered and capable of making decisions to live a most fulfilling life, as well as able to handle stressors while meeting their needs. I help process the multiple factors that contribute to one’s mental, physical, and spiritual health and life choices, as well as uncover the underlying fears that can impact our feelings, thoughts, and behaviors.

I have been licensed for 18 years, and have worked with various populations. I am a client-centered behaviorist; meaning I help people change behaviors by presenting them with coping strategies and communication skills to help deal with life on life's terms. I use my experience, as well as professional life as a special education teacher for the last 22 years, a 48 year marriage, and 35 years of a personal 12-Step Program to guide my theoretical orientation to help change distorted thinking into positive choices. I listen with empathy, and offer suggestions for hope and change. .

I am a licensed psychologist who has trained in both cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic therapeutic approaches. I consider myself to be an integrative therapist, pulling from different methodologies and theories to tailor treatment to each individual. I enjoy working interpersonally and collaboratively, taking into account such factors as individual history, subjective experiences, and family/cultural dynamics. I often work with folks who identify feeling stuck, lost, alone, misunderstood, angry, frustrated, and sad.

I strongly believe in the power of compassion and human connection. I have a special interest in treating those suffering from trauma, and struggling with issues of self- esteem, body image, depression, and anxiety. While I utilize a combination of psychodynamic modalities and CBT, my treatment is tailored to each individual person. I believe in the collaborative relationship between client and therapist. It is my goal to provide a safe, non judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts, fears, and beliefs.

You can change. I believe this because in my twenty years as a therapist, I've been inspired by the work of my clients to overcome grief, trauma and abuse. My years as a therapist have taught me that we are all resilient, we all have strengths and coping skills. My years as a therapist have also taught me that when we go through a crisis, or a series of crises, our coping skills can get overwhelmed.

Hi! Welcome to my small online practice, and congratulations on taking the step in looking into therapy - I know it can be challenging! My primary goal is to create a safe, inclusive, and comfortable space where you can be yourself and open up about things that you may be struggling with, or things that are causing you stress. Our sessions will not be a one-sided conversation, nor will they be mundane (trust me!), but rather there will be a lot of conversation and interaction, and together we can work on the things you want to change. I want you to find the peace and healing that you desire.

Lucy Jite-Ogbuehi, PsyD is a licensed clinical psychologist (PSY3392) based in California. She uses a client-centered/multicultural lens to inform treatment and creates a safe emotional space to explore identity, relationships, life issues, and emotional release, while simultaneously maintaining an open and attentive stance, and using active and reflective listening to allow each individual the opportunity to achieve healing within the therapeutic process.

It may be difficult to navigate life while experiencing uncertainty, unpleasantness, pain, loss, or hurt. The process of therapy allows a space in which we gradually work towards: clarity, centeredness, acceptance, peace, and autonomy. The therapeutic journey offers an opportunity to reach your desired outcomes in a manner that is meaningful and sustainable (within a safe, tailored, and confidential setting).
