Mariajose Castellanos

I graduated from the Univerisity of Southern California with a Master’s in Social Work. I have eight years of clinical experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families at the Los Angeles Unified School District and Child and Family Guidance Center, most recently in the Juvenile Justice program. I have provided clinical therapy in the outpatient and residential setting, treating trauma, anxiety, and depression. With passion, dedication, and a collaborative approach, therapy is a powerful tool that can improve the quality of life.

My greatest strength as a clinician is to establish a safe environment and provide the space to meet the client's needs.

My goal early in treatment is to establish a relationship built on trust, honesty, and compassion, thereby creating a comfortable experience for my clients. Most importantly, I approach my work with kindness and warmth to create a safe space to encourage growth for my clients.
