Felicia Ponce, LMFT

Felicia Ponce is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 14 years of clinical experience. She brings a background working with children, adolescents, and families from nonprofit and educational settings, including five years at a private nonprofit clinic serving clients ages 0 to 18 and four years providing educationally related mental health services within a high school district. After those roles she transitioned to independent practice and has also contributed as an adjunct lecturer in undergraduate and graduate psychology programs at a California State University.

Her clinical work addresses a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, grief, relationship and family issues, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, addictions, and risk management. She emphasizes trauma-informed care and holds the Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) designation, which reflects advanced training in treating trauma. As an LMFT she focuses on relational patterns and family systems while integrating evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused strategies.

Ponce adopts a person-centered stance in sessions, creating a calm, respectful atmosphere and remaining curious about each client’s experience. She approaches therapy collaboratively, treating clients as experts on their own lives and working as a team to set goals and explore solutions. Her style is generally laid back and supportive, with an emphasis on helping people navigate life changes and move toward the version of themselves they want to be.
