Luz Adauto, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Luz!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of California. I provide therapy in English and Spanish. I believe therapy should feel safe and like a collaborative conversation. My specialties include anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, major life transitions, stress management, career challenges, and minority stress.

My focus

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, and self-esteem challenges. Together, we'll develop practical coping strategies and create a personalized plan for growth that feels both empowering and achievable.

My approach

My therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing to deliver individualized, evidence-based care. I prioritize building a strong therapeutic alliance grounded in trust, collaboration, and open communication.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, empathetic, and nonjudgmental. I take the time to listen to your unique experiences with compassion and curiosity, and together we develop a personalized treatment plan that reflects your goals, values, and individual needs.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into mental health care was inspired by compassionate professionals whose dedication and positive impact on others motivated me to pursue this meaningful work. Their dedication sparked my own passion for supporting individuals through life's challenges and helping them create positive, lasting change.

My goals for you

My ultimate goal is to help you build greater self-awareness, resilience, and confidence as you navigate life's challenges. Together, we'll identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, develop healthy coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting changes that support your overall well-being and personal growth.

Our first session

During our first session, we'll discuss what brought you to therapy, explore your goals, and begin creating a plan that fits your needs. You'll also have the opportunity to ask questions and see if we're a good fit.
