Getting to know Joanna Amenero

Joanna Amenero. I am a Peruvian therapist who grew up in the city of Cudahy, so I am grateful to be in a position where I can provide services to my Spanish-speaking community. I received my education from the University of California, Los Angeles (Bachelor's) and the University of Southern California (Master's in Social Work). My work is rooted in mental health, personal growth, radical self-care, and self-esteem. I advocate, motivate, and educate on innovative healing to achieve a wholesome life. My approach Over the last 12 years, I've had the privilege of holding multiple roles within the therapy world. I have worked in schools, foster care, adoptions, military bases, hospitals, non-profits, private practices, community clinics, family resource centers, inpatient and outpatient programs, and even the substance abuse field. This has allowed me to work with folks from all walks of life. I tailor treatment to each individual and offer a safe environment where I listen without judgment, motivate, and engage you. I bring years of experience, good energy, and unique interventions with a charismatic personality. My focus My passion was providing services to the re-entry population, treating psychotic disorders, and most importantly, working with the military and veteran community. Over time, things shifted, and as I grew into private practice, the universe led me to do powerful work with women in postpartum. One thing is certain: my specialty has always been working with survivors of trauma. My communication style I understand how valuable it is to find someone you vibe with. Having said that, my style and approach IS NOT FOR EVERYONE. I use an alternative and holistic approach when providing services. I do this through the use of plant medicine, integration, and animal-assisted therapy as needed. I help individuals navigate ancestral healing, generational and intergenerational trauma, as well as other conditions that affect our mood, thoughts, and behavior.
