HI, I'm Victoria Serratos, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and I'm thrilled to be a part of this journey towards mental well-being. With a heart for healing and a passion for understanding, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Having completed my Master of Social Work from USC School of Social Work and my bachelor's degree in Deaf Studies from CSUN, I've honed my skills in creating meaningful connections across languages and cultures. As a bilingual therapist in both Spanish and English, I strive to provide a safe and inclusive space for individuals of all walks of life.
My approach to therapy is as unique as the people I work with. Tailoring my methods to your individual needs, I employ an eclectic approach that draws from a variety of therapeutic techniques. Whether you're a teenager navigating the complexities of growing up, a young adult stepping into the world, or someone seeking guidance in their senior years, my door is open to you. I welcome clients of all genders and identities and proudly stand as an ally for the LGBTQIA community.
Specializing in Trauma, I've worked extensively with survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, gang violence, and bullying, offering a supportive hand on the path to healing. Anxiety, Panic Disorder, Depression, and even the challenges of Postpartum life are areas where I can provide guidance and understanding.
Loss, transitions, relationships, stress – life's trials come in many forms. With over a decade of experience working in diverse settings, I bring both wisdom and empathy to the table. From crisis management to long-term solutions, my aim is to empower you.
I'm also an author of in the Amazon bestseller, "Survivors Diary: The Day She Left Vol 2." This project speaks to the strength of the human spirit and the resilience that lies within us all. If you'd like to learn more about my book you can find me at, victoriaserratos.com
