Dr. Antionette Cardenas

I’m Dr. Antoinette Cardenas, a licensed clinical social worker with over 18 years of experience in mental health and medical social work. I specialize in supporting adults navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. My approach is holistic, compassionate, and rooted in evidence-based practices like CBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where your culture, identity, and experiences are respected as we work together toward healing and resilience.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to each client’s unique needs. I integrate evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed care to help clients develop practical tools for healing and growth. I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and respected, and where their culture and personal experiences are honored. Together, we focus on building resilience, improving coping strategies, and empowering you to move forward with confidence and clarity.

Clients can expect to leave sessions with practical coping strategies, greater self-awareness, and a stronger sense of resilience. I strive to create a safe and supportive space where you feel comfortable exploring challenges and building on your strengths. My goal is to help you gain clarity, improve emotional balance, and feel more empowered to navigate life’s obstacles with confidence.
