Getting to know Karin Brewster

Hello. My name Is Karin (pronounced Kah-reen) Brewster and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Los Angeles, CA, working with adults and children since 2012. My area of practice focuses on the therapeutic relationship, ensuring the client's comfort in sharing some of their most difficult thoughts and feelings with me. I strive to never pass judgment or personal agenda on anyone, rather allowing the therapeutic process to guide their own decisions and choices.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach focuses on building a therapeutic relationship along with pointing out dysfunction in thoughts and behaviors. I ensure to introduce tools and techniques that range from mindfulness to distress tolerance to emotional regulation while also exploring cognitive distortions causing dysfunction. I am a true believer that what we see and hear in turn becomes our own lens and self dialogue, thus, I find it important to process history to better understand current functioning and end generational cycles.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Clients should expect an empathic and validating first session which includes an introduction of myself while also attempting to get to know the client. I strive to review treatment goals regularly in order to ensure progress is acknowledged and new goals are created.
