Colijia Feliz

Hola, I'm Colijia Feliz, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I am based in Visalia (Central Valley, CA) & statewide via telehealth. I'm a woman of color, (mixed race), half Black half Mexican. I help individuals understand how their past can affect their present decisions, families, friends, help them realize their inner strengths. I create a calm environment with understanding & empathy along with a little humor (laughter is a great healing tool).

I base my approach depending on the needs of the client. I do not believe there is one solution that would fit all people's needs. I focus on Humanistic and Person-Centered Therapy, Trauma-focused, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Strength-based therapy.

A first session will include learning about the client, what they are currently dealing with, and gaining an understanding of why they may feel they need therapy and what they expect out of it.

Prior to the end of sessions, I like to set goals with clients to work on until the next session and discuss ways to try and accomplish those goals. There may be times of checking in to ensure clients work toward their goals.
