Getting to know Joanna Paz

Hi there, I'm Joanna! I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California supporting emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. I specialize in helping women with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, self-esteem, stress, and life transitions—guiding clients toward balance, confidence, healthier relationships, and their best selves. My focus I specialize in supporting women through depression, self-esteem challenges, grief and loss, anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship issues and life transitions. Many of my clients work to create balance between personal lives, relationships, and responsibilities as mothers or professionals. Helping women build coping skills and confidence. My approach I believe therapy is a partnership focused on creating goals that reflect your needs. My approach draws from evidence-based practices: solution-focused therapy, CBT, mindfulness, narrative therapy, and client-centered care. I encourage holistic practices and provide an empathetic, non-judgmental space where you feel safe, seen, and supported. My communication style I create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to express themselves. Clients describe me as warm, empathetic, genuine, and supportive while encouraging accountability and growth. I provide thoughtful feedback and encourage reflection so clients feel heard, understood, and supported throughout their journey. My journey to mental healthcare My journey as a therapist has been shaped by being the daughter of immigrant parents, witnessing mental illness within my family and being inspired by my older sister, a social worker. I’ve worked with youth, adults, and families across diverse settings. What inspires me is watching clients transform and embrace healthier, more fulfilling lives.
