Getting to know Carla Morales

Hi there, I'm Carla! Hello and welcome! My name is Carla Morales, a bilingual, first-generation Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Los Angeles, California. I earned my Master's in Social Work from California State University, Dominguez Hills, and my Bachelor's from California State University, Northridge. I have over 14 years of experience working with diverse populations and settings. I support individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment issues, and parenting challenges using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Evidence-Based Practices (EBPs). My approach My theoretical orientation blends psychodynamic, cognitive, and systems theories, examining how early life experiences shape our thoughts and choices. My goal is to help you learn about yourself and provide tools to thrive and heal. My focus I specialize in working with individuals of all ages dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, attachment, parenting, and end-of-life issues. My communication style My style is calm, compassionate, and personable. I create a space where clients can focus on vulnerabilities without judgment. My journey to mental healthcare As a first-generation Latina, I experienced the challenges my family faced immigrating to the U.S. These experiences showed me the importance of community support and mental health care. For these reasons, I deeply believe in therapy's power and the healing process. My goals for you Together, we will explore your reasons for therapy and desired outcomes to establish attainable treatment goals. My first session with you In our first session, we'll get to know each other. I want to understand your background, current challenges, and what you hope to achieve through therapy.
