Great to meet you!

“Terapia con apoyo y claridad para que te sientas más fuerte y conectado/a.” Hi, my name is Lorena. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 29 years of experience, offering therapy in both English and Spanish. Many of the people I work with come to me feeling stuck - whether in cycles of depression, anxiety or carrying the weight of unresolved traumas. Life challenges are tough - relationships, stress, or past experiences can sometimes leave you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about the future.

My approach to therapy

My approach is both supportive and direct. I draw on evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Solution-Focused Treatment, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). At the same time, I believe in tailoring each session to meet your unique needs. Together, we’ll build practical tools and insight that foster resilience, growth, and lasting progress in your daily life.

What you can expect from me

If you’re ready to take the first step toward meaningful change, I invite you to visit my website and book a session or give me a call. Therapy is an investment in yourself, and I would be honored to walk alongside you as you build a healthier, more fulfilling life.
