Lia German
LMFT
Hi, I’m Lia German, a Licenced Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) providing services via telehealth and in person in Riverside in English an Spanish. I specialize in working with youth impacted by trauma, family conflict, anxiety and emotional dysregulation and have over a decade of supporting children, adolescents and families through trauma-informed and culturally responsive care.
Approach:
I offer a compassionate and strength-based therapeutic space where clients feel safe, seen, and empowered to grow. My approach integrates trauma-informed care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, and family systems work. I believe that healing happens through connection, and I partner with clients to navigate life’s challenges while building on their inherent strengths and resilience. My work is grounded in cultural humility and a deep respect for each individual’s story and goals.

What to Expect in Our First Appointment:
In our first session, I’ll provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where you or your child can share openly and feel supported. We’ll explore what brings you to therapy, begin to identify your goals, and create a personalized plan to move forward. My aim is to help you feel grounded, hopeful, and understood as we begin your journey toward healing and growth.
