Getting to know Johanny Pena

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of clinical experience working with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, relationship concerns, grief, life transitions, and challenges related to identity and self-worth. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and culturally responsive. I draw from evidence-based approaches including Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness-based practices. Together, we work not only to reduce symptoms, but also to deepen self-understanding, strengthen resilience, and foster lasting change. I believe therapy is not about fixing what is wrong with you, but about understanding your experiences with curiosity and compassion while reconnecting with your strengths, values, and sense of possibility. I welcome clients from diverse backgrounds and provide therapy in both English and Spanish.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My style is warm, collaborative, and compassionate. I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can be fully yourself while feeling supported, challenged, and understood. I tailor treatment to each client's unique needs and draw from approaches including IFS, EMDR, ACT, psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness practices. Together, we'll work to understand patterns, build coping skills, process difficult experiences, and move toward the life you want to create. I provide therapy in both English and Spanish and welcome clients from diverse backgrounds.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

During our first sessions, we'll explore what brings you to therapy, your goals, and the experiences that have shaped you. Together, we'll create a treatment approach tailored to your needs and preferences. Sessions may include gaining insight into patterns, building coping skills, processing difficult experiences, improving relationships, or strengthening emotional resilience. I draw from IFS, EMDR, ACT, psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches to support meaningful and lasting change.
