Hi there! My name is Claudia and I am a bilingual and bicultural Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) from Los Angeles, CA. I am here to provide an open ear and walk with you through life's challenges. Life can feel like a roller coaster, although fun sometimes, they can also be stressful and overwhelming in our day to day. I have primarily worked in school settings working with children and adolescents, however have enjoyed working with young adults and supporting them in their life's transitions through college, jobs, relationships, healing from trauma, etc.

I began working in mental health 23 years ago and have worked in community-based therapy, lockdown facilities, in-home therapy, and different schools. I have found over time that the most rewarding factor of doing this work is giving people comfort and support, not only solutions. No matter what type of therapy the client prefers, the environment is based individually on the client. I do not press the pace of the session. Normally, there's a check, but other than that, it depends on the pace the client feels comfortable with for that session.

Hello! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in California. I received my master's in 2014 and have been practicing for 10 years.

First and foremost, I am so proud of you for being here today and for taking the first step towards investing in yourself by attending therapy. Definitely not an easy thing to do so I salute your willingness and courage!! My name is Janette, I am a first gen, Latina, who loves to read, run, and cuddle up next to my best friend (my dog) who you may see in the background writing my notes for me (he is my intern)!! (silly smiley face.) My style in therapy is being authentic, gentle but yet guiding you to your ultimate best self. Although I am formally trained in different treatment modalities (CBT, TF-CBT, DBT, EMDR), I know life doesn't always fit neatly in a box, so I feel my approach reflects that. I prefer a looser approach to therapy as I feel it helps a person be more vulnerable and safe. When it comes to therapy, I know how scary and difficult it may be to expose what we work so hard to hide. However often time in that process we overlook our strengths such as our resiliency. Together, we will work to foster confidence within yourself and every aspect of your life.
