Carla Brizuela

My clients describe me as:

A proud first generation Filipina/Malaysian therapist. I believe in starting where the client is. My counseling style is compassionate and empowering.

Something to know about my approach is:

I acknowledge that there are many factors and complexities that intersect to make you who you are is an important perspective of my practice. You define who you are and how you experience the world.

Together, we will:

Start where you want to start and you are the captain of your own ship. I am just here to help guide the way. The answers are within you and I will do my best to help you get them out.

I specialize in working with people who:

Want to put in the hard work of introspection and exploring their environment to help define how they perceive the world and how they can change that to help protect their peace.

I became a therapist because:

As an LCSW, I can help you manage not only with how you feel about a situation, but also empower you with what you can do about it.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I am aware of the systemic inequities that play a role in the mental health of BIPOC & other often marginalized communities & want to challenge that.

More about me and my practice:

My mission is to provide you with culturally responsive and trauma-informed care that acknowledges all the systems in place which impact your emotional health and well-being.
