Getting to know Vanessa Torres

Hi there, I'm Vanessa! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master's in Social Work from California State University, Long Beach. My ultimate goal is to help you feel successful in your everyday life. I have a passion for helping others. My approach I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centered Therapy in my work while also incorporating mindfulness. My focus I typically work with young adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues. I help individuals develop the proper coping skills needed to ensure success in their lives. My communication style I strive to create a calm and non-judgmental environment for my clients. I allow them the safe space to express themselves, share their struggles, and celebrate successes. My journey to mental healthcare I have always viewed myself as a helper. After exploring Social Work, I knew that it was the right field for me. I earned my BA in Sociology from Cal State Long Beach. After working a variety of positions in the social work field, I decided to return to CSULB to earn my Master's in Social Work. Since earning my Master's, I have held different positions in the field (working with the homeless population, working with foster youth transitioning to adulthood, and school social worker/counselor). I enjoy working with the young adult and adult populations. I hope that I can help others find peace and be the best version of themselves. There are many challenges that we face throughout our day-to-day life, and sometimes getting some extra help in navigating and understanding those challenges is necessary and important. My goals for you I hope that my clients develop a positive sense of self and are prepared to handle difficult situations that may arise. I hope that my clients develop the skills they need to be successful.
