Blanca Torres

Hi, My name is Blanca Torres. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I will seek to understand the client and the life situation more fully. Goals and hopes for therapy will be discussed. We will end by discussing potential next steps and a plan moving forward.

My approach

I integrate therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Family Systems Theory. I integrate evidenced-based practices into my work.

My focus

My areas of practice allow me to work with individuals who suffer from depression, anxiety, and trauma.

My communication style

I approach each client with empathy, respect, and collaboration. I believe education is key to nurturing a healthy mind. I am committed to equipping individuals with the knowledge and resources they need to navigate life's challenges with confidence and resilience.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always known I have wanted to be in a profession that empowers and strengthens individuals and families. Growing up in a rural area with limited mental health resources has driven me to expand my knowledge and attain the education and experience needed to work as an LCSW. Continued professional growth is important to me, and I am dedicated to staying current in the profession.

My goals for you

I understand individuals are unique and take the time to truly listen and tailor treatment plans to meet unique needs and goals.

My first session with you

During the first session, the primary goal is to build a trusting, respectful, and collaborative relationship. I will listen, answer questions, and provide information on what to expect during the therapeutic process. I will explore significant life experiences, strengths, and natural resources.
