Denice Palacios, LCSW, CATC Bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker | Certified Addictions Treatment Counselor

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Addictions Treatment Counselor with over 10 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s most difficult challenges. Born and raised in California, I am passionate about serving diverse and underserved communities, offering culturally responsive care in both English and Spanish.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices—including cognitive-behavioral, trauma-focused, interpersonal, and behavioral therapies. I specialize in working with individuals facing anxiety, depression, substance use, trauma, self-esteem issues, justice-involvement, and interpersonal difficulties.

What you can expect from our first session

I believe in the resilience of the human spirit. In my sessions, I create a safe and supportive space where individuals feel empowered to speak their truth, build insight, and develop the skills needed to live more fulfilling lives. I tailor my communication to meet each person where they are, with kindness, respect, and authenticity.
