Nazaret Montes De Oca, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Nazaret!

This is a safe space where I will be offering thoughtful, client-centered care from evidence-based practices. My goal is to create a warm and supportive environment where clients can explore concerns, gain insight, and build effective coping skills. Together, we’ll work toward goals that align with your values and needs.

My focus

I work best with clients who are seeking support with stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and personal growth. I will support each client's care plan based on their unique needs and meet them where they are in their journey.

My approach

My approach to care is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each individual's growth. I work alongside clients to understand their goals, values, and lived experiences, using evidence-based practices to help them develop practical coping skills and create meaningful change. I strive to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space.

My communication style

Preferably, my style is warm and supportive. Respectfully, I aim to create an environment where clients share at their own pace. As an active listener, I will genuinely communicate clearly and offer guidance while working together towards the identified goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

My interest grew from a deep curiosity about mental health, human behavior, and human connection. Through my academic training, clinical work, and current experience, I’ve learned the importance of being client-centered while approaching each person’s journey with empathy and respect. I strive for clients to feel heard and valued.

My goals for you

Together, using a client-centered approach, we will identify meaningful and realistic goals and practical coping skills. During our insightful sessions, I will regularly check in on progress and discuss recommendations as needed if adjustments should be made based on the client's needs.

Our first session

In our first session, we will review your history, present concerns or stressors, and what you hope to attain from therapy. By the end, we will begin identifying potential goals and a plan that feels comfortable with your needs. My goal is for the client to feel comfortable in the safe space we have created.
