Laura Barragan, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Laura!

I'm a bilingual (English/Spanish) social worker focused on women's mental health. I work across community mental health, school-based settings, and private practice.

My focus

My experience ranges from children to geriatrics. I treat general mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma, and life transitions.

My approach

When working with my patients, I approach therapy with a humanistic, client-centered approach. Our work is collaborative, and I welcome your feedback throughout our sessions. I look forward to working with you on your journey of self-discovery and wellness.

My communication style

I would describe my communication style as I am direct, providing feedback, and also encouraging your feedback throughout our work

My goals for you

Throughout our work, I encourage active participation and engage patients in treatment planning and goal development.

Our first session

In the first therapy session, you will have an opportunity to ask questions and get to know me. We will also discuss what brought you to therapy and begin to discuss goals. During the assessment phase, I use a biopsychosocial lens when gathering information about your life and background.
