Sierra Mision

Hello! I am glad you are here. I am a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) who has worked with youth, families, and adults in multicultural settings for a decade. I integrate community connection into therapy, as I believe connection to others and to our world guides us in reimagining how we wish to exist in relationship with ourselves and others.

I specialize in crisis stabilization, stress management, and behavioral therapy for youth, families, and adults, as well as grief work across the lifespan. During your intake assessment, we will spend time exploring goals you would like to create, and we will tailor modalities for treatment based on your expressed needs. I utilize the following modalities in therapy: TF-CBT, CBT, CPT, DBT techniques, ACT, play therapy, and somatic therapy.

I prioritize continuing education courses focused on the ethics of culturally competent diagnosis and assessment of sensorimotor processing disorders, ADHD, and autism spectrum disorder in youth, adolescents, and adults.

I move at your pace and integrate what is important and reflective of you into our work together. You are the expert of your life, and the time we share together is an opportunity to explore patterns and themes of what is central to you. I do not assign homework; however, I may occasionally encourage you to integrate an intervention we have practiced together into your daily routines if therapeutically beneficial.

I hope that you come away from our sessions having had a place to express and process your needs, feelings and reflections. Ideally, you will leave our weekly or biweekly shared space with individualized skills or thoughts that guide you in your therapeutic goals.
