Getting to know Stella Petros

Hi there, I'm Stella! My name is Stella Petros. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Los Angeles, California. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Southern California. I have been in practice since 2005, specializing in working with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, life transitions, grief, trauma, and related issues. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic, and solution-focused therapy approaches to assist my clients in meeting their treatment objectives. My approach I have experience and knowledge in depression, anxiety, mindfulness, trauma, grief and loss, life transitions, and related issues. I engage my clients in examining how their past experiences and current emotions have contributed to outcomes they find unsatisfactory. Together, we raise mindful awareness and create behavioral changes that lead to less distress and, ultimately, a more joyful existence. My focus I use a strength-based approach to guide clients in re-establishing authentic relationships with themselves and others, helping them to be present lovingly and mindfully in the life they envision. I find that CBT, Psychodynamic, and Solution Focused Therapy approaches effectively address a variety of issues my clients face. My communication style My primary goal in treatment is to create greater trust and safety in the therapeutic setting to facilitate free communication and expression of thoughts and feelings. My approach is direct, compassionate, non-judgmental, and supportive. I foster a space of acceptance that respects where clients are in their lives while challenging them to work toward healthier and more meaningful relationships. My journey to therapy I entered the mental health field because I believe in the strength and resiliency of the human soul. I believe change is possible, and I am humbled to be part of my clients' change process.
