Licensed Clinical Social Worker | Los Angeles, CA

Welcome - I’m Bianca, a licensed therapist in private practice supporting teens and adults who are seeking deeper healing, clarity, and lasting emotional change. I work with teens and adults who are navigating trauma, anxiety, mood and personality patterns, addiction, life transitions, and neurodiversity, offering therapy that is supportive, collaborative, and tailored to each individual’s needs.

With over a decade of experience across highly specialized mental health treatment settings, including high-acuity residential programs, I bring advanced clinical depth to outpatient therapy. I have worked extensively with complex and co-occurring concerns, experiences that shaped the therapist I am today in private practice. This foundation allows me to meet clients with nuance, emotional attunement, and a steady focus on sustainable growth rather than quick fixes.

I hold a Master’s in Social Work from USC, where I specialized in Adult Mental Health and Wellness and graduated with high honors as a member of the Phi Alpha Honor Society. My clinical training includes work at Casa Bella, Visions, Promises, and Capital Area Counseling—programs known for their integrative, whole-person approach to mental health care.

My therapeutic approach is psychodynamic and relational, helping teens and adults understand the patterns that shape emotions, relationships, and behavior. I integrate somatic-informed practices and EMDR to support trauma recovery, nervous system regulation, and emotional resilience. Therapy with me is collaborative and empowering, focused on building insight, emotional flexibility, and a strong sense of agency so that change feels authentic, sustainable, and aligned with who you are.

Outside of therapy, I enjoy painting, gardening, and spending time with my family, friends, and my magical dog, Mick.

If you’re looking for a therapist in private practice for teens or adults who offers depth, warmth, and clinical expertise, I would be honored to support you. Whether you’re ready to begin therapy or simply exploring your options, you’re welcome to reach out.
