Thank you for being here and taking the nexts steps towards your own wellness. I am Sabrina Word, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California. I received my Masters from San Jose State University, Go Spartans! I have over 14 years of experience in areas of sexual violence and intimate partner violence, advocacy, violence prevention, and health education. For the past 8 years, I have been providing direct services for high acuity clients providing therapy, case management and crisis services to current and former foster youth. Clients appreciate my warm and inviting space while bring curiosity and support for them in finding their voice.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
During our first session, it's normal to feel nervous. We will take time for a brief introduction, I will explore what brought you to services, gather information to inform your overall goals for services. Our first session is truly an introduction, therapy takes time and will be a process. I'll be with you along the way and you are the one that sets the pace throughout care. At the end of our first session, if it's a good fit, we will schedule a next session.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I bring compassion, curiosity, and a safe space for clients to share there challenges and goals for the future.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I enjoy working with young adults transitioning into adulthood including college students or those trying to manage all that life puts on their plate. Being a mother myself, I enjoy working with moms to support in the transition of parenting and self-discovery in this new role. I have a strong passion for working with survivors of sexual violence and intimate partner violence to hold space for their story to be heard.
Strength-Based
My work has been rooted in strength based approach highlighting the strengths, resilience and positive qualities that each client brings into sessions with a focus to utilize these qualities to maximize growth and wellness.
Trauma Informed Care
It is my priority to create a safe and welcoming space. I will provide an invitation into sessions to foster individual choice and collaboration to meet each person where they are at. When and if you are ready we can develop a foundation of resources to support in the exploration of the impact of trauma and how it shows up in the present. You will be the driver that determines the speed of therapy and can step on the break at any time to slow things down.
Humanistic
The foundation of my practice is working with clients through a humanistic lens by creating a collaborative, compassionate, and non-judgmental space. I believe every person has their own potential and unique abilities to thrive in this world. We will work together to tap into your own resources to support your healing and growth.
Psychoeducation
Psychoeducation is a key within therapy, as we all have space to learn and grow. Utilizing psychoeducation gives space for understanding symptoms, patterns, or connecting to new resources to strengthen ones personal insight and overall wellness.
