Bio
Nancy Sandoval-Morton, LCSW (she/her)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker #75514
Trauma Specialist
Hello. Welcome!
I'm a bilingual Spanish speaking therapist with over a decade of experience treating people who have experienced trauma and those struggling with major life challenges. I am passionate about helping survivors of intimate partner violence and sexual assault which, is the area where I have gained most of my professional experience. Stress and trauma can leave a lasting impact on the body and mind. Through a Resiliency-Informed approach we can address issues related to PTSD, anxiety disorders, relationship problems, low self-esteem, grief, and other intense emotions. I feel honored to witness people's most vulnerable self and to be entrusted with stories of joy or sorrow.
Before starting my practice, I mainly worked within community centers, non-profits organizations, and universities like Cal State LA and USC. I am trained in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, Strength Based interventions, Trauma Informed Care, Trauma Resiliency Model, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and Art as a healing tool.
I strive to provide a safe, supportive, and empowering environment where people can work on regaining power and control over their lives. Through this therapeutic relationship we can improve self-awareness, coping skills, interpersonal relationships, and self-worth. You deserve to life a fulfilling life. Let's work on healing and improving overall wellness.
✿My work is dedicated to my late friend, Crystal Rose. Through her story
I found purpose and it led me to a career where I am able to help people heal from trauma.✿
