Hi! My name is Dana Barajas and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Practicing in California. I believe that we are all unique in the challenges that we face- we all come with our own histories, experiences, and life stressors. At the same time, I believe in the resiliency of the human mind and spirit. While we cannot always control our life circumstances or histories, we can find tools to help us overcome and live our happiest lives. Everyone deserves to find inner peace and I believe therapy is a wonderful tool to do so!
My approach
I take a person centered approach in order to meet my clients where they are at and to identify modalities that will best help them to r each their goals.
My focus
At this point in time, I am best positioned to serve adults seeking therapy remotely.
My communication style
I strive to create a non-judgmental environment in which you feel safe, supported, and heard.
My journey to mental healthcare
I felt called to become a mental health clinician and therapist because of my own experiences with mental health. I grew up in an area without a lot of resources for mental health and struggled to find help for immediate family members who were in need of services. Because of this, I felt called to become a mental health professional and make services more accessible for all.
My goals for you
I provide clients with a safe space to explore their thoughts and feelings so that we can create an alliance in order to identify your therapeutic goals.
My first session with you
In our initial session, we will cover general housekeeping items then work together to explore and identify you, we will our goals for therapy. If you feel I am a good fit for you, we will work together to establish a plan to move forward.
