My name is Mariana Nogueira, LCSW, and I am a bilingual therapist with over a decade of experience working with individuals and families navigating trauma, grief, immigration, chronic illness, and major life transitions. I received my Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Sacramento, and have extensive training in trauma-focused therapies and mindfulness-based approaches.
Over the years, I have worked in hospice care, hospital settings, cancer centers, community mental health, and with immigrant and undocumented communities. These experiences have deeply shaped my commitment to culturally responsive, trauma-informed therapy.
I specialize in supporting adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, burnout, identity transitions, or who feel caught between cultures.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Long Beach
Finding the right postpartum therapist in Long Beach starts with identifying the type of support you need. Postpartum depression, anxiety, and other perinatal mood changes can look different for each person — and a provider who specializes in these concerns can tailor their approach accordingly. Look for a licensed therapist, counselor, or psychiatrist with experience in perinatal mental health care, and consider whether you'd prefer virtual sessions or in-person appointments near neighborhoods like Belmont Shore, Bixby Knolls, or Signal Hill.
When comparing providers, read their bios carefully. Credentials like PMH-C (perinatal mental health certification) indicate specialized training, and many postpartum providers use evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or interpersonal therapy. A free phone consultation can also help you determine whether a provider's style feels like the right match before you commit to a full session.
Therapy in Long Beach can be expensive without coverage, but affordable options exist when you use in-network insurance benefits. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before booking, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a postpartum specialist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
