Hello there, my name is Norma, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has extensive experience working with children, teens and their families navigate life challenges to heal from trauma, anxiety, and depression. My experience includes working in the foster care system, LAUSD, and a focus on trauma.
My approach is to jointly explore with you the root of challenging emotions and or behaviors causing difficulty in functioning through Psychotherapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, and Grief counseling. I see relationships as a unit and believe that our behavior and mood can negatively affect others feelings and behaviors towards us, so working on the self is crucial. You will be provided with psycho-education to help you connect the dots between your thoughts, feelings, and actions. Mine is a strength based approach to build rapport, increase moral, and meet you where you are.
