Getting to know Carmen Liera

Hi there, I'm Carmen! My name is Carmen Liera, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California who has been practicing since 2012. I identify as a bilingual, bicultural woman of color, born in Tijuana, MX, and raised in San Diego, CA. I specialize in treating teens and adults seeking support and tools to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and difficult life transitions. My approach I use various modalities and tailor my approach to your individual needs. My experience comes from multiple schools of thought, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based practice, trauma-focused CBT, and solution-focused treatment. My focus My passion is working with the Latinx community and "first-timers" in therapy. However, I welcome clients of all backgrounds, cultures, and races. My communication style If you choose to pursue therapy with me, we will begin by getting to know each other and creating an environment where you feel safe and comfortable to be vulnerable. We will complete a comprehensive assessment to understand your needs and goals for treatment. My journey to mental healthcare I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and began my career in the mental health field in 2007. I returned to UCLA and earned my Master's in Social Work degree in 2012.
