As I Am Therapy

As I Am Therapy is a telehealth private practice that provides therapy to adults, couples, and minorities across California. As I Am Therapy operates out of Los Angeles County and San Bernardino County, CA and is owned and operated by Maxine de Luna, LMFT 151230 (she/her).

With As I Am Therapy, Maxine provides a safe inclusive space that integrates Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) to heal difficult emotions, navigate life transitions, and end relational and generational trauma.

With developed experience working with young adults, adults, couples, and minorities such as 1st or 2nd-Generation, Asians, Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI), LGBTQ+, and Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), As I Am Therapy is a good fit for those who have felt unheard, unseen, criticized, and/or marginalized.

Maxine is Advanced, Level Two-trained in EFT by Les Greenberg, PhD through the Southern California Institute of Emotion Focused Therapy and integrates different therapies, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Mindfulness, Bowen Family Systems, Structural Family Therapy, and Gottman Method, depending on clients’ unique needs and presentations.

As I Am Therapy values the intersections of clients’ identities, backgrounds, and experiences, embraces each client as they are, and is committed to helping each client work toward their goals. Through understanding, empathy, and healing, As I Am Therapy hopes to end dysfunctional relational and generational patterns and create meaningful change from within, with each client at the center.

I hope to help you live a life you have longed for yourself.

One you and your loved ones have always deserved.
