Ivan Beas

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) dedicated to helping folks navigate life’s complexities with resilience and clarity. Bringing my own queer and Latinx identity into my work helps me create a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without having to filter your story or explain your background.

I aim to help folks with a number of different target areas. Together we can work through issues involving acceptance, transitions, family challenges, identity, relationships, anxiety, depression, emotion regulation, and more.

I earned my undergraduate degree from UC Davis (go ags!) and my graduate degree from UCLA (go bruins!).

My approach is rooted in a nonjudgmental, safe environment where we can look at all the different parts of who you are with genuine curiosity and compassion. Together, we’ll work on learning more about yourself and developing tools to help manage challenging moments.

I utilize interventions from different treatment modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, solution-focused, and mindfulness-based strategies.

I want to better understand who you are, where you are coming from, and what you would like to get out of treatment. We will collaborate on developing some goals by the end of our appointment and use this as a map to help guide the time we have together.
