Getting to know Patricia Pasillas

I am an LCSW, and I'm a first-generation Latina located here in the heart of Southern California. Throughout the last 17 years of my career as a licensed clinical social worker, I've built a solid reputation for not only breaking down the barriers within society but also for my eagerness to help others evolve. My approach I understand what it's like to face obstacles and frustrations and I also understand how difficult it can be for the average human being to articulate what it is exactly that they're going through. My whole goal throughout our session is to help you verbally express your challenges in a safe and comfortable environment. Judgement doesn't exist here My focus At the end of every appointment, I want you to feel empowered. You'll quickly notice your confidence will begin to change as well. In the end, I'm not only here to help you communicate in a more effective manner. I'm here to help encourage your personal growth and to help you recognize the beauty in your individuality. My communication style Active Listening: Fully focusing on the speaker, understanding their message, and showing you're engaged. Empathy & Warmth: Conveying understanding and creating a safe, approachable environment through warmth, smiles, and appropriate distance. Non-Verbal Cues: Being aware of and using body language, eye contact, and tone effectively. My journey to mental healthcare My experience in social work has taught me to take the small victories and to assist a person to make small, positive changes in their lives. If that is my legacy to the people I’ve worked with, then I am happy and able to keep going. I think sometimes we, as professionals, can overvalue our role in people’s lives. My goals for you I help transform these powerful yearnings into more specific goals by asking myself: What does being happy look like for you? What specific struggles make you feel stuck? Taking time to reflect on these questions can be therapeutic in itself.
