CLAUDIA MORALES, LMSW

I am a bilingual psychotherapist motivated and dedicated to supporting individuals in their personal growth. A challenge or a new circumstance in your life may have led you to seek guidance today. I am certified in TF-CBT (Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), CPP (Child-Parent Psychotherapy), and I use an eclectic approach in treatment based on your response to evidence-based interventions. I place a high importance on developing a relationship and building trust with you to explore your environment, direction, and history, all while allowing you to guide the pace to processing your experiences, behaviors, thoughts, and feelings.
​
Major decisions or life goals can often generate feelings of uncertainty and doubt which may impact your focus, motivation and self-care. Everyone has their own unique capacity and insight relating to their mental and physical health. I will learn from you about the role these have played in your life. This will be your own place of comfort and security where your vulnerability will not be judged, and together we can identify your strengths and abilities. I commend you for taking this first step in seeking a healthy collaboration with us for guidance toward your life goals and to joining you in your journey.
