Nancy Tinajero, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Nancy!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California, License number 127731, with over 20 years of experience helping children, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges. I believe that healing and growth happen through connection, understanding, and a willingness to engage in the therapeutic process.

My focus

I specialize in working with children, couples, and families, supporting them through issues such as anxiety, life transitions, relationship struggles, and family stressors.

My approach

My approach integrates evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address emotional, relational, and behavioral concerns. I work collaboratively with clients to explore their thoughts and emotions. Christian counseling is available upon request.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, empathetic, and collaborative—I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to create meaningful change in their lives.

My journey to mental healthcare

I am a mother of three children. Through my own struggles, I have learned that therapy can often be an underestimated tool to help us navigate the troubles of life. I enjoy working with families, couples, and children, helping them overcome life stressors.

My goals for you

I believe in taking a collaborative and individualized approach. Together, we identify what matters most to you—whether that’s improving relationships, managing stress, or fostering personal growth. I use a strength-based and solution-focused framework.
