Andres Borja

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a master’s degree from Loma Linda University and over a decade of experience supporting clients through complex challenges, including trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship strain, and life transitions. My background spans medical, child welfare, and outpatient mental health settings, with specialized experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychodynamic approaches, mindfulness, and couples therapy. I’ve worked with individuals across the lifespan, from children and families to adults navigating chronic pain and relational stress. I bring a warm, grounded presence to therapy and believe that effective treatment starts with authentic connection and mutual respect. I honor the courage it takes to ask for help and tailor our work to your unique experiences and goals.

My approach blends evidence-based practices with practical, real-world application. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), emotion regulation strategies, trauma-informed care, and systems-based thinking to address not only symptoms but the root causes. I believe therapy should be collaborative and adaptable, sometimes solution-focused and structured, other times spacious and exploratory, depending on your needs. I emphasize clarity, insight, and building tools you can actually use outside of session.

Clients often leave sessions feeling more grounded, heard, and equipped with actionable strategies to handle stress, improve communication, and move forward with intention. Whether we’re working on managing emotions, untangling relational dynamics, or making big decisions, you can expect a thoughtful, supportive environment where growth is possible—and where your values lead the way.
