My Approach to Helping
Welcome! Glad to see you are taking steps toward growth and self-care. It can be frightening and challenging. However, we will walk your journey's path together until you are ready to go at it on your own.
"As you start to walk on the way, the way appears." – Rumi
Hello, my name is Dragana Stijepovic. I am a clinical social worker licensed (LCSW) in the state of California. I am currently completing my doctorate dissertation in criminal psychology. I have over 20 years of experience as a clinician. I work with adults who experience depressive mood, anxiety, loneliness, and need for emotional support. I believe the pain and struggle we feel are messages from within, and we should pay attention to those messages. Together, we will address concerns and grow from the challenges before us.
Counseling is a process of looking at a situation with a new set of eyes, which can possibly give a different perspective. Remember, you do not need fixing. You need support. We are never broken, just sometimes bent. You can do this!
