My Approach to Helping
Hi, I am Karin Brewster, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing services across Los Angeles with over 7 years of experience. I have worked with adolescents and adults with a wide arrange of challenges including depression, anxiety, difficulty managing emotions, interpersonal issues, impulsive behaviors, and rapid mood changes. I've also helped many people cope with trauma and grief.
I am trained in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), seeking safety, and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), however, I aim to tailor every individual's treatment plan according to their specific needs.
My therapeutic approach is gentle but firm when necessary. I am familiar with the courage it takes to seek help and vow to be the support that is necessary to build a more fulfilled life.
If you plan on working with me, I aim to guide you towards finding a life worth living, meaning a life that feels sufficient and good enough. A life where you can feel content with yourself and your relationships. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a very important and valuable tool to getting clients to where they want to be. Hence, my goal is for us to become a team in making the right decisions in your treatment.
If you allow me to be of some assistance, I assure you that I will do what I can to get you to where you want to be. If you are ready to seek a life worth living, I am here to help you get there.
Looking forward to meeting you!
