WELCOME 

At California Pacific Psychotherapy, we provide secure online therapy to individuals throughout the state of California. Whether you are in the heart of Los Angeles, the Bay Area, or a quieter corner of the state, compassionate support is always within reach.

Sessions are held through a confidential, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform, allowing you to connect from the comfort and privacy of your own space—no commute, no waiting rooms, just meaningful therapeutic connection wherever you are.

Hello, I am Charlene Hecker, a licensed psychotherapist. I offer a safe, compassionate space for individuals to explore the challenges they are facing, and to move forward with greater confidence and clarity.

Maybe you are navigating a life transition, feeling disconnected from your partner, or carrying the weight of anxiety or past trauma. Whatever brings you here, know that you are not alone. Therapy is a courageous step, and my goal is to walk beside you with empathy, curiosity, and respect.

I believe in a highly personalized approach, because no two people are the same. Our work together will be tailored to your unique story, values, and goals.

Let’s work together to help you feel more connected—to yourself, your relationships, and your purpose.

 Imagine a life where the challenges you are facing feel manageable, and your path forward is clear. What would be different? What possibilities might open up for you?

I am deeply committed to a collaborative process, working with you to change your relationship with the struggles you are facing. Together, we will explore new perspectives and strategies to help you create meaningful and lasting change.

Together We Will:

  • Define

    We will take a closer look at what has led you to seek support. When did the problem first appear? How is it impacting your daily life? What steps have you already tried to address it?

    By understanding your story, we can uncover the patterns and solutions that work best for you, paving the way for healing and growth.

  • Uncover

    We will get to the root causes of the problem. We will explore how family, culture, and systems have influenced your thinking, allowing you to challenge those beliefs that may have once worked well for you, but now feel misaligned. We will uncover the dreams, values, goals, and skills that define who you are, separate from your problems.

  • Rediscover

    You will develop new ways to relate to yourself and others that are aligned with your deepest- held values and goals. Together, we will help you discover a new way to view yourself that leaves you feeling empowered and confident in who you are, and able to reclaim your time and energy for the things that matter most to you.
