Esmeralda Reynoso, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Esmeralda!

I work with children, adolescents, and adults dealing with stress, anxiety, and depression. I am committed to helping my clients work through difficulties and reach their goals.

My focus

My client population has included children, teens, and adults. I have found that I enjoy making connections with and working well with clients of varying ages. We work together as they go through life challenges that can bring on depression and anxiety.

My approach

My approach to therapy is guided by the needs of each client I work with. Generally, I have found Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to be highly effective with many clients. However, I also incorporate aspects of other therapy modalities when it benefits my clients.

My communication style

My communication style is patient-centered. I offer a nonjudgmental environment where my clients can discuss any issues or challenges they are going through. I aim to develop a trusting relationship.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to become a social worker first began when I worked in a school as a teacher's assistant. It was an eye-opening experience seeing children face challenges at home that impacted their personalities, their learning, and functioning. That is when I realized I wanted to help children deal with the difficulties they were facing.

My goals for you

My approach to setting goals with clients is a joint effort between clients and myself. Once you identify what you want to accomplish during our time together, we will set goals and keep track of your progress.

Our first session

Our first session will be about building trust and a connection that will enable us to work together. It will involve you discussing the difficulties you are facing, how they are affecting you, and how you are feeling. I will gather information from you by asking questions to determine how I can begin helping you.
