Hello! My name is Nancy Carina Torres and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) working with diverse populations in California. My psychotherapy work integrates evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and mindfulness-based interventions. I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations—including children, adolescents, adults, and older adults—in a variety of areas such as community hospitals, mental health clinics, and healthcare environments.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

My approach to therapy is client-centered. I offer a safe space to support and encourage clients process their feelings through self-reflection, develop positive coping skills and identify their strengths. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness and Solution Focus Therapy. My communication style is personable and non-judgmental. My goal is for clients to feel heard and validated.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have worked with clients of various ages and diverse backgrounds dealing with Anxiety, Depression, grief/loss and stress.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

As a LCSW in California, I offer a client-centered and strength-based approach to individuals suffering from mental health and other life stressors. I have worked with young adults, multi cultural and adults. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to serve a wider range of individuals and families with cultural sensitivity and understanding. My psychotherapy work is rooted in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), client-centered, and mindfulness-based approaches. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space that empowers clients to explore challenges, develop insight, and foster resilience. Whether addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions, I aim to support clients in achieving meaningful, sustainable change.
