Juanita Marisol Barrientos, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Juanita Marisol!

I aim to assist individuals struggling to find life's meaning, particularly those who may feel overlooked or undervalued. If you're experiencing feelings of sadness or anxiety and are unsure how to improve, allow me to offer my help.

My focus

If you feel that your family is tired of hearing you complain or you feel like you are burdening them, it is time to reach out to me, I can help. Therapy is not easy for all but I try to make it an easy process.

My approach

I prioritize establishing trust with my clients to ensure they feel secure and at ease. My approach is strength-based and solution-focused, aimed at addressing clients' mental health requirements. I am also EMDR trained.

My communication style

I am easy to talk to and will engage in conversation with you even if you feel shy or having a hard time putting words to your feelings.

My journey to mental healthcare

I am a first-generation Latina looking to empower others who are ready to make changes in their lives.

My goals for you

I like to collaborate with you to set your treatment goals, I want to make sure that you see progress in your treatment, thus the reason for setting goals.

Our first session

In our first session, I like to introduce myself and provide you with my contact information. I also discuss confidentiality and the exceptions to confidentiality. I want to know your expectations for treatment and the best day of the week and time to meet. I like to meet with my clients weekly to build trust and connection.
