Hello! I’m Mindy Rochlin, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Los Angeles, California, offering statewide Telehealth services. I hold a Master's degree from Fordham University and bring 22 years of specialized experience in addressing drug and alcohol addiction. Many of my clients also face underlying mental health challenges, such as anxiety and depression. I work collaboratively with them to navigate their substance use issues while also addressing their mental health needs, empowering them to achieve lasting wellness.
In our first session together, you can expect a warm, supportive and non-judgmental environment where we’ll focus on how you’ve been feeling lately. I’ll ask questions to gain a deeper understanding of your experiences with addiction, anxiety, and depression and and how it has impacted your life. This initial meeting is all about building a connection and exploring the best path forward tailored to your unique journey. I’m here to listen and to help guide our discussions in a way that feels right for you.
My strengths in empathy, directness, humor, and uniqueness shape my interactions and contributions. I connect deeply with others, fostering a supportive environment through understanding their feelings. My straightforward communication promotes clarity and builds trust, ensuring that conversations are productive. I also use humor to lighten the mood and create a relaxed atmosphere, making interactions enjoyable. Additionally, my unique perspectives allow me to approach challenges creatively, encouraging innovative problem-solving. Together, these strengths help me cultivate collaboration and empower those around me.
I utilize a combination of evidence-based therapies, including Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing. These approaches are designed to help you recognize unhelpful patterns and cultivate healthier thoughts and behaviors. Together we will establish realistic goals in a direct and support.
