I've learned how to communicate my thoughts, feelings, and ideas more clearly and confidently, and how to create and maintain healthy boundaries.

Getting to know Veronica Almanza
Hi, I am Veronica, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Bakersfield, and nine years of experience in the private sector. My passion and goal is to support individuals in their journey by processing psychological and emotional needs.
Life is fast paced, and there is pressure and circumstances that can lead to losing sight of the most precious asset you have: living a balanced life. Together, we can choose to focus on developing the skills, awareness, and coping mechanisms that will help you reach the stability you are seeking.
What should a new client know about working with you?
By becoming aware of the struggles you are facing, we can formulate goals, develop coping skills and strategies that would guide you into breaking habits and behaviors that are keeping you from reaching your full potential.

More information on payments and coverage
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.
