Norma Muniz, LCSW

Norma Muniz, LCSW

Psychotherapist
CA
Hi there, I'm Norma! Hello, my name is Norma, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Michigan. I have extensive experience working with children, teens, and their families to navigate life challenges and heal from trauma, anxiety, and depression. My background includes working in the foster care system, LAUSD, and a strong focus on trauma. My approach My approach is to jointly explore with you the root of challenging emotions and behaviors causing difficulty in functioning through Psychotherapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, and Grief Counseling. I see relationships as a unit and believe that our behavior and mood can negatively affect others’ feelings and behaviors toward us, so working on the self is crucial. You will be provided with psychoeducation to help you connect the dots between your thoughts, feelings, and actions. Mine is a strength-based approach to build rapport, increase morale, and meet you where you are. My focus Throughout my eight years of experience, I’ve worked with children, teens, and their families to assist with intra-familial (daughter-mother, father-daughter, son-mother, etc.) relationship challenges, coping with divorce, trauma due to loss or abuse, depression, substance abuse, and anxiety. Most recently, I worked as a psychiatric social worker with LAUSD, providing crisis management, substance abuse information and support, and grief counseling to students in elementary, middle, and high school. I am most comfortable working with teens, young adults, and parents struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma. My communication style I have a strength-based approach and take the time to get to know my clients. My tone is calm and reassuring. I understand that anger is a secondary emotion; therefore, I do not take anger in therapy personally. I am patient and utilize humor when appropriate to engage clients.
