Getting to know Dana Barajas

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been practicing in California since 2013. I am passionate about mental health and making services accessible to as many people as possible. Life is hard, and we could all use some extra support sometimes. I would love to be that extra support for you! I believe that we are all unique in the challenges that we face- we all come with our histories, experiences, and life stressors. At the same time, I believe in the resiliency of the human mind and spirit. While we cannot always control our life circumstances or histories, we can find tools to help us cope and live our happiest lives. Everyone deserves to find inner peace, and I believe therapy is a wonderful tool to do so! My approach I take an eclectic, flexible approach based on the needs of my clients. We are all unique, and I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy! I like to meet my clients where they are and identify elements of different modalities that will best help them to reach their goals. My focus At this point, I am best positioned to serve adults seeking therapy remotely. My communication style I strive to create a non-judgmental environment in which you feel safe, supported, and heard. I've been told I have a calming presence and a good sense of humor (especially if you enjoy a good pun)! My journey to mental healthcare I felt called to become a mental health clinician and therapist because of my own experiences with mental health. I grew up in an area without a lot of resources for mental health and struggled to find help for immediate family members who needed services. Because of this, I felt called to become a mental health professional and make services more accessible for all.
