Welcome! My name is Dragana Stijepovic. I have over 21 years of experience in the mental health field. I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of California. Glad to see you are taking steps toward emotional growth, healing, and self-care. It can be frightening and challenging. The clients I work with daily are those with serious health issues with anxiety, phobias, depression, stress, and family issues. We will walk your journey's path together until you are ready to walk it alone. "As you start to walk on the way, the way appears." -Rumi.
Working with me feels like a calm, safe space that is a no-judgment zone. I provide a lot of emotional hugs and support. Positive thinking with motivation to see the beauty of you is what it looks like working with me.
My younger sister struggled with bipolar disorder. I saw how it crippled her life at a very young age. I promised her and myself that I would find ways to help her. In the process, I learned and grew as a therapist.
