Hello, my name is Nancy Pereda, and I am a bilingual English/ Spanish licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). My goal with therapy is to build a therapeutic alliance with my client’s and assist them on their journey to recovery and personal growth. I understand that therapy can be a frightening experience, but I promise to provide a safe, open, and non-judgmental space. 

I obtained my master’s degree in Social Work from California State University Dominguez Hills in the year 2013 and have been practicing mental health since then. My experience comes from working with various cultures, and backgrounds. I have worked with children, and teens with behavioral issues, and family conflicts. I have also worked with children, teens, adults, and families struggling with trauma, grief, loss, depression, anxiety, life transitions and a variety of mental health diagnosis. In addition, I have experience working with psychiatric hospitals, group homes, probation, and foster youth. I strive to offer culturally sensitive approaches and techniques. I use a holistic approach with my client’s adding elements of cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and family systems, among others.

The greatest reward of being a therapist is being able to have an impact in the lives of clients and assist them in the route of living a healthier and happier life. I look forward to meeting you and starting this journey together
