Hi, I’m Magaly, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California. I have experience working in hospital and community-based settings, supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and life transitions.

I earned my Master of Social Work degree from California State University, San Bernardino. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and strengths-based, with a focus on helping clients feel supported and understood.

I integrate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), DBT-informed skills, mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies to help clients build coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and move toward meaningful change at their own pace.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Los Angeles, CA


Making the decision to start therapy is a profound investment of your time, energy, and vulnerability. If you are looking for a blank-slate clinician who simply nods and listens, we might not be the best fit. I offer a highly engaged, malleable, and unflinching partnership.

My approach is rooted in the belief that while the work of untangling our lives is deeply structural, the room itself doesn't always have to feel heavy. I bring a grounded warmth to my practice—which means knowing how to sit quietly in the gravity of a difficult truth, but also knowing when to break the tension, exhale, and find the light in the sheer complexity of being human. I won’t just sit in silence while you do all the heavy lifting; I am an active collaborator who adapts to exactly where you are.
