Getting to know Karin Brewster

Hi, I am Karin Brewster, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing services across Los Angeles with over 7 years of experience. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California. I have worked with adolescents and adults facing a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, difficulty managing emotions, interpersonal issues, impulsive behaviors, and rapid mood changes. I have also assisted many people in coping with trauma and grief/loss. I am trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Seeking Safety, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT); however, I tailor every individual's treatment plan according to their specific needs. My therapeutic approach is gentle but firm when necessary. I understand the courage it takes to seek help and vow to be the support needed to build a more fulfilled life. If you choose to work with me, I aim to guide you toward finding a life worth living—a life that feels sufficient and good enough. A life where you can feel content with yourself and your relationships. I believe the therapeutic relationship is a vital and valuable tool for helping clients reach their goals. Therefore, my goal is for us to become a team in making the right decisions for your treatment. If you allow me to assist you, I assure you I will do what I can to help you get to where you want to be. If you are ready to seek a life worth living, I am here to help you get there.
