About Silvana Lezama, AMFT

Therapy for Trauma, Perinatal & Postpartum Mental Health

Bilingual Therapist – English & Spanish

Hi, I’m Silvana (she/her), a bilingual Associate Marriage and Family Therapist providing therapy in English and Spanish to adults and adolescents throughout California.

I specialize in trauma recovery, anxiety, depression, and life transitions, including pregnancy and postpartum adjustment. My work is grounded in a trauma-informed, culturally responsive approach that honors how identity, culture, and family systems shape emotional health.

As a mother, I have a deep commitment to perinatal and postpartum mental health, helping new parents navigate identity changes, relationship shifts, and the emotional weight of caregiving. I understand how vulnerable and transformative this stage can be, and I focus on creating a space that feels both safe and empowering.

I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and currently completing advanced training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). These evidence-based methods help clients process past experiences, reduce emotional reactivity, and strengthen resilience.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a writer focused on maternal mental health and the stories of new mothers. That work continues to shape my belief that healing happens through connection, understanding, and being truly seen.

Therapy with me is collaborative and grounded in real life. Together, we’ll work toward clarity, balance, and emotional well-being.

I offer virtual therapy statewide and accept private pay and Medi-Cal (LA Care and Gold Coast Health Plan).
