Hello! Welcome! My name is Liliana Ponce, and I am a bilingual Spanish-speaking Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Southern California. I was born in the United States and raised in Mexico. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology from California State University, San Bernardino (CSUSB) and my Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). I have over 7 years of experience working mainly with children, teens, young adults, and families. I help those who are struggling with life transitions to implement evidenced-based practices so they can become the best versions of themselves.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first sessions together, we will start with brief introductions to get to know each other. Then, we will identify the specific challenges you are facing and create a plan based on your identified needs and work through them in follow-up sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I pride myself on being able to work with people from different cultural, socioeconomic backgrounds, and life circumstances. I have a background on child welfare where I have been a social worker in different settings such as day treatment for foster children and for teens who were in the juvenile justice system. I also have been an in-home family consultant, hospital social worker, and have served as a school-based therapist providing direct practice to youth. My broad knowledge in different settings has helped me be more equipped as a clinician. As a Latinx mental health provider and knowing how culture plays an essential role in the person's life, I am here to also help you and be your cheerleader as you embark on this journey of healing.
