Great to meet you!

My name is Paola Gancman. I have a Masters in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University. I have over 20 yers of experience working in the fields of education and psychology. In my private practice I work with women, parents, teens, young adults and couples. I am originally from Argentina and I provide therapy in English and Spanish.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I am observant, understanding, patient and compassionate when it comes to people. Throughout the years, I have learned to be a better listener, which has allowed me to paint a more accurate picture of the people I meet. I am intrigued by human behavior and truly believe that we all have the capacity to change by taking the time to give ourselves an opportunity to find our own direction in this fast paced world where we live.

What you can expect from our first session

I use an emphatic and supportive approach in assisting my clients through their therapeutic journey. I meet my clients where they are and work with them in discovering where they want to go by being an active participant in each and every session.
