Getting to know Laura Amezcua

Hi there, I'm Laura! My name is Laura Amezcua, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based out of the Inland Empire. I earned my Master's in Social Work from California Baptist University and my Bachelor's degree from the University of California, Riverside. I have experience working with children, adults, and families, specifically those who experience traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, and behavioral issues. My approach My style is strengths-based and client-centered. I utilize a variety of therapeutic styles such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused, and Mindfulness techniques. My approach in therapy is to help others navigate through life's challenges and create solutions to address those challenges. I aim to help clients during transition periods by assisting them in building skills, developing a positive outlook on life, and providing resources if needed. My focus I predominantly work with high-complex-needs children and adolescents involved with child welfare and probation. While the majority of my focus is on this population, I also provide therapeutic support to the entire family system with concerns that may include family conflict and parenting. My communication style I strive to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to help my clients feel comfortable. Open and direct communication is key to fostering a healthy therapeutic relationship.
