Getting to know Silvia Escobar
My name is Silvia Escobar, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Southern California. I earned my Master's in Social Work from California State University, Long Beach. I work with adolescents and adults specializing in depression, anxiety, life transitions, and stress, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to help my clients make progress and start feeling better.
I decided to become a therapist because I have always wanted to help others feel better about themselves and their circumstances. Throughout my career, individuals have naturally been drawn to share their struggles and difficult life situations with me. I have always been a great listener, and my career has helped me hone and continue to improve this skill. I take pride in helping people through difficult times. I enjoy seeing individuals become the best version of themselves.
My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, as these modalities help me and the client develop a shared understanding of their current reality and allow us to work together to build a path forward.
My communication style is serene, accommodating, and easygoing. I want my clients to feel comfortable and be at ease talking with me about anything. I pride myself on my ability to listen without imparting judgment.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My approach to helping clients during sessions is to set goals. I do this by first listening intently to a client's history and what brought them to therapy. In doing this I am helping to build trust between the client and I, since my initial goals is to have the client feel comfortable with what it means to be in therapy. Once I've gained insight into the patient's reasons for attending therapy, I collaborate with clients to develop goals that are realistic and attainable. Over time, we will work together to set goals and track progress.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
