Great to meet you!

Juan Plascencia offers a safe, supportive space to explore your experiences & work collaboratively toward healing and growth. Support is available for anxiety, trauma, or depression. Life can be challenging & my goal is to help you reconnect with your inner strength through a compassionate, non-judgmental, empowering approach. I value authenticity, empathy, and mindfulness in my work. Juan holds a Master’s in Social Work & has experience as a mental health professional dedicated to supporting clients on their journey toward improved well-being. He is passionate about helping adults & seniors heal from difficult experiences.

My approach to therapy

If you're facing depression, anxiety, trauma, or other mental health challenges, I invite you to reach out. I provide evidence-based therapy, including CBT and trauma-informed care, in a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you can feel heard and understood.

Together, we'll identify unhelpful thought patterns, develop healthy coping strategies, improve emotional regulation, build resilience, strengthen communication skills, and practice mindfulness and grounding techniques to help manage stress and overwhelming emotions. We'll also work at a pace that feels right for you to process difficult experiences, increase self-awareness, and create lasting, meaningful change.

Healing is possible, and the strength to create change is already within you. Let's work together to help you reclaim it.

What you can expect from me

Juan offers telehealth therapy throughout California. With years of experience and extensive training, he provides practical tools and evidence-based strategies to support your healing journey.

In your first session, you can expect a warm, supportive, and collaborative conversation. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy, your current challenges, and the goals you'd like to achieve. Together, we'll begin developing a plan tailored to your unique needs and identify practical skills you can start using right away.
