My name is Brenda Contreras, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW101878. Welcome to the first step on your journey. I support young children to adolescents, in learning to regulate their emotions, manage social challenges and thrive in all environments. I also provide family therapy to help when parents are feeling disconnected from their children or there has been a traumatic event or life transition. I typically work with a specialty age range of 2-10 years old.
As well as the transitional period in pre-teen and teen years to support patients in learning about themselves and managing the hurdles that come with today's day and age. I work with adults who need a safe space to share about everyday challenges brought forth by anxiety, depression and relational challenges.
What fuels my passion for this work is witnessing your growth and progress. I find immense satisfaction in celebrating each of your achievements, whether they be large or small. Sometimes, it's the small steps forward that lay the foundation for significant transformations. Even when you may not see it in yourself.

It feels light during our sessions, even when the topics discussed are heavy. Our therapeutic relationship feels equal, non-judgmental, and productive. I believe in the power of meaningful, heartfelt conversations that delve beneath the surface of day-to-day chit-chat. It is in this space of vulnerability and trust that we can uncover your true potential and facilitate lasting change.
