Karina Nava

My name is Karina Nava, LCSW#119884, currently practicing in California. I attended the University of California, Riverside for my undergraduate degree in Sociology and a minor in Education, and received a master's in Social Work from the University of Southern California. My experience includes practicing two years within the school setting, three years providing therapeutic services for intensive foster youth, and outreach work for victims of crime.

I like to provide my clients with a safe space within a narrative therapy approach; however, when needed, I will provide trauma-focused care, cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, motivational interviewing, and problem solving/solution-focused approaches.

Most goals I set for my clients include management of current symptoms to assist in stabilizing overall wellness. This will assist in reaching the root of their symptoms to fully understand their needs to maintain their growth.
