Getting to know Blanca Codina
Hi there, I'm Blanca!
My life experiences have made it possible for me to understand the many twists and turns life throws at all of us. My professional experience has exposed me to treating children, families, persons with severe mental illness, and currently our nation’s heroes; war Veterans within the context of society and its challenges. I am currently a Social Work doctoral candidate at Tulane University and will be getting my degree in December 2022.
My approach
Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy has been very effective in assisting the client in noticing their own negative thoughts and providing the tools to change them into positives. I don’t impose a modality on the client but offer to work in a collaborative manner to uncover underlying issues affecting their daily function and work together to develop a working treatment plan according to the client’s goals.
My focus
I work with all clients who want to improve their situations and move forward. I will work with all clients' goals and needs.
My communication style
I make sure to actively listen to my clients in order to make sure I understand their unique situations. My tone is normal and nonthreatening while my demeanor is friendly and open.
My journey to therapy
I began with social studies and soon realized the field of social work could be many things. I have a master's in Social Work from Loma Linda University with a specialty in Mental Health. I am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Crisis Oriented Recovery Services.
My goals for you
Therapeutic goals are always set by clients. Setting goals is always a collaboration but it starts with what the client wants to work on in order to make progress.
My first session with you
Our first session is about getting to know you and seeing if we are a good fit. I will ask you about your current situation, how long you have been feeling this way, etc. This is called an assessment and it all helps me help you better.
