Arlene Guzman

Hi there, my name is Arlene and I am a Latina Social Worker with 20+ years of experience addressing the intersection of trauma, family dynamics and mental health.

Dedicated to serving the Latina community, I provide culturally responsive care addressing attachment disruption, PTSD and developmental trauma. I have over 25+ years of experience working with families that have experienced family attachment and abandonment issues, as well as an enhancing child-parent relationships. I am committed to social justice ensuring a safe, non-judgmental and welcoming environment for all clients.

I specialize in evidence-based trauma treatment for children, adolescents, and women. With extensive experience supporting families navigating crisis, utilizing cognitive behavioral and strength based systematic approach to healing.

During the first session, I may need to ask the client what kinds of needs or issue they would like to address in their treatment as well as what they have done to manage their mental health. They will want to talk through what worked and what didn't to get an understanding of how best to help them.
