Getting to know Vicky Pichardo

Hi there, I'm Vicky! Hello, my name is Vicky Pichardo, DSW, LCSW. I believe in providing a warm and supportive environment as I work with clients to navigate life’s unique challenges. I strive to develop collaborative partnerships and am passionate about breaking the stigma of mental health. I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and families facing various challenges. My approach As a Spanish-speaking therapist, I recognize the importance of cultural influences such as ethnic, language, religious, and LGBTQ+ factors. I have experience working with adolescents, adults, and aging adults. I use an eclectic approach with evidence-based models like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) to address clients’ unique needs through a holistic (mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual) approach to well-being. My focus I work with adolescents 16+, young adults, adults, and older adults affected by depression, anxiety, grief, relational conflict, life transitions, trauma, parenting, self-esteem, and other concerns. I set clear goals and build partnerships to empower clients throughout their therapy journey. My communication style I offer a safe, non-judgmental, empathetic, and strength-based space tailored to clients’ needs. My goal is to help clients overcome, heal, and grow. I understand each individual’s needs differ and use every session as an opportunity to foster change. My journey to mental healthcare I earned my undergraduate degree at the University of California-Riverside, where I was introduced to social work through work with young children. I pursued my Master of Social Work at Loma Linda University as my interest in mental health grew. I advanced my education by earning my Doctor of Social Work from Capella University, deepening my expertise and commitment to quality mental health care.
