Melinda Gudino

Personal Statement

Hi! I am Melinda Gudino, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in Ventura, California. I have been working with individuals, adolescents, and families. My goal is to help people dealing with a range of issues and concerns, including adult and adolescent depression and anxiety, LGBTQ issues, chronic medical illness and terminal illnesses, end of life issues, trauma, and grief.

Though I take a person-centered, eclectic approach in therapy, I have extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I help people dealing with work and career stress, relationship issues and difficult life transitions.
