Getting to know Sonia Olivera
Sonia Olivera, Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Life can sometimes feel like too much to handle, especially when our usual coping mechanisms no longer work. Whether you're dealing with anxiety and sadness, struggling in your relationships, navigating a significant life change, or simply seeking self-discovery, therapy can offer much-needed support.
My approach
My role is to provide a safe and welcoming space where you can explore these challenges, gain insight into your life, and develop tools to cultivate greater happiness and fulfillment in your everyday experiences, work, and relationships.
My focus
With a Master's in Social Work from California State University, Los Angeles, and nearly two decades of experience in mental health, I have been fortunate to work with a wide range of clients. I have gained valuable expertise in several evidence-based therapies such as person-centered, psychodynamic, and cognitive behavioral theories, just to name a few. I cater to adults and couples.
My communication style
My clients find my no-nonsense approach to be a breath of fresh air, and they appreciate the collaborative and practical nature of my work, tailoring treatment to each individual's specific needs and circumstances.

I am so grateful for Sonia! The first encounter I thought we weren’t a good match because she was a bit straightforward but something in me said I should give it a chance. And I’m so so glad I did. She is very direct, but in the most positive and respectful way. She knows when you are ready to be given a bit of push back and when to guide through some further thinking. She is also very consistent with scheduling and understanding of your life’s challenges. Thank you Sonia!
