Getting to know Theresa Fenander

I have been in therapy practice for over 20 years and received my Master's in Social Work from California State University, Long Beach. I became a licensed clinical social worker in 2009 and have been privileged to work with people from various age groups, socioeconomic statuses, cultures, ethnicities, and abilities. Adversity and loss have been some of my best teachers and have shaped me into the therapist I am today. I have extensive experience working with adults, children, and adolescents, providing individual therapy and crisis management. Additionally, I have over ten years of experience offering onsite emotional support and psychological first aid to employees following traumatic events. I have provided consulting and post-incident intervention services to various organizations, including HBO, Nickelodeon, American Apparel, Los Angeles Unified School District, Department of Public Social Services, Department of Children and Family Services, Glendale Police Department, and Los Angeles Police Department. Currently, I work in Los Angeles County jail as a licensed clinical social worker and provide consultation and post-incident interventions to several private agencies. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to make an appointment. I look forward to meeting you!

No show. I have no intentions of using Zocdoc again since this Theresa no showed. Might not be Zocdoc's problem, but you need to get rid of providers like her since they'll prevent customers from returning.
