Getting to know Jackie Balarezo Ruvalcaba

Hello! I am Jackeline Balarezo-Ruvalcaba, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Northridge. My approach I am passionate about helping individuals from all walks of life. I like to set clear goals with clients and meet them where they are. I am empathetic and great at listening, letting clients know that I am here to help meet their needs. I work with adults and adolescents and specialize in anxiety, depression, grief, and loss using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My focus My focus is always on empowering my clients to become self-reliant by teaching coping skills, showing them how to identify and manage their individual triggers and stressors, and helping them develop a positive outlook on life by highlighting their strengths and addressing their challenges. My communication style My communication style is calm, friendly, and personable. I provide an open space for clients to express themselves free of judgment or guilt. I always listen first and aspire to help clients see their troubles from different perspectives. I deeply appreciate when clients confide in me. My journey to therapy I have always enjoyed talking and listening to people from an early age. As a Latinx immigrant, I am acutely aware of the struggles within the Latino/a community in addressing mental health needs. The challenges I faced in this country inspired me to help others like me. I enjoy sharing my knowledge and supporting individuals through advocacy or personal struggles. I now have over 13 years of experience working with families, adults, children, and adolescents, including those in the foster care system. My goals for you When setting goals with clients, I work together to create the most suitable and realistic goals to address their most pressing needs. I am forthright about setting appropriate goals to ensure clients are set up for success.
