Gina Chusan

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with experience supporting individuals and families from diverse cultural backgrounds, including Latino and immigrant communities. My professional background includes working with immigrant and undocumented populations, survivors of domestic violence, and individuals experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and adjustment related challenges.

As a Latina, I understand the importance of culture, family, identity, and immigration experiences in a person's emotional well-being. I strive to create a safe, welcoming, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and understood. I believe that therapy should be culturally responsive and tailored to each person's unique experiences, strengths, and goals.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I believe the therapeutic relationship is an important part of healing, and I work together with my clients to identify their goals and develop practical strategies that fit their lives.

I draw from evidence-based approaches and adapt treatment to each client's needs. I incorporate culturally responsive care and consider how family, relationships, culture, immigration experiences, and life circumstances may affect emotional well-being. My goal is to help clients develop greater self-awareness, coping skills, confidence, and resilience while creating meaningful and lasting change.

During our first session, we will focus on getting to know each other and understanding what brings you to therapy. I will listen to your concerns, learn about your background and current circumstances, and discuss the goals you would like to work toward.

You can expect a supportive, respectful, and judgment-free environment. We will begin developing a treatment plan together based on your needs and priorities. You do not need to have everything figured out before starting therapy our first session is simply an opportunity to begin that process together.
