Getting to know Christina Leyva

Hi there, I'm Christina! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California. I have over 10 years of experience guiding and supporting individuals through life transitions. I am passionate about helping individuals find their voice and navigate challenges by creating a safe and supportive environment. **My approach** I emphasize person-centered and holistic methods. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help individuals develop coping strategies, identify negative thought patterns, and build resilience. We explore emotions, thoughts, and experiences to work toward positive changes. **My focus** I work with adolescents through the geriatric population. My specialties include stress management, depression, anxiety, grief, loss, adjustment disorder, behavior modification, career transition, and educational and vocational counseling. **My communication style** I provide a safe space to explore emotions, learn resiliency skills, and find healing. My non-judgmental style fosters sharing and positive change. I believe in a collaborative approach to understand your unique experiences and create a personalized treatment plan. **My journey to mental healthcare** I became a therapist because I believe in the importance of working through emotions in a welcoming environment. I want everyone to know they have a voice. **My goals for you** I work closely with clients to set meaningful, attainable goals. It’s important to start where you are and create an environment where you feel heard and supported as your emotional well-being improves. **My first session with you** In our first session, we'll establish a safe and comfortable space for you to share your thoughts and feelings.
