Lawanda Rowles, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Lawanda!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10+ years of experience supporting a wide range of clients, including adults, children, and families. I am passionate about helping people build coping skills, discover their strengths, and ultimately navigate many of life's challenges.

My focus

I am here to support adults struggling with their anxiety, social skills, peer relationships, depression, self-esteem, and coping skills.

My approach

My approach is to listen, understand, and help you develop the tools necessary to lead a higher quality of life.

My communication style

My sessions tend to be calm, supportive, and easygoing. I want you to feel comfortable being yourself and sharing openly. I believe that therapy should feel like a genuine conversation, one where you can laugh, reflect, and feel heard without judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist to help others find their strengths and voice.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting with clients by asking them what their goals are for themselves. The goals should be S.M.A.R.T.

Our first session

During the first session, I take time to get to know the client and what brought them to therapy.
