Find a Therapist in California IG

Hi, I’m Ignacio. Welcome to The Center of Resiliency. I’m honored to join a space that values healing, growth, and authenticity. As an Associate Clinical Social Worker, I’m passionate about guiding individuals through challenges with empathy, structure, and curiosity. 

Whether you’re navigating transitions, trauma, or daily stressors, I’m here to support your path toward balance and clarity. I specialize in working with youth, adults, veterans, and individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem issues, substance

use, and chronic illness. I also welcome clients dealing with grief, relationship dynamics, and stress linked to caregiving or medical diagnoses. I provide all services in both English and Spanish, ensuring that language is never a barrier to receiving compassionate, high-quality care.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and trauma-focused modalities. I create a space that’s compassionate yet grounded, where we collaborate on identifying patterns, building coping tools, and honoring your unique story. My experience in both psychiatric and medical settings allows me to tailor strategies that balance emotional depth with practical progress.

A little about me: I hold a Master of Social Work from California State

University, Northridge (Honors) and a Bachelor’s in Anthropology from CSU Los Angeles. I’ve worked across diverse systems—from acute psychiatric units and addiction recovery to nephrology and veteran care—always with a focus on equity, dignity, and resilience. Outside of clinical work, I’m committed to lifelong learning and growth, both professionally and personally.

Hello and welcome!

My name is Noah, and I’m an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC). I’m so glad you’re here. Reaching out for support is a meaningful and courageous step. I believe therapy is a collaborative journey where you can feel truly seen, understood, and supported. My role is to provide a safe, compassionate space for you to explore your story, work through challenges, and move toward growth and healing.

I work with children, teens, adults, and older adults. While I see clients for a variety of concerns, such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions, my primary focus is on trauma in all its forms. This includes trauma stemming from abuse, neglect, discrimination, systemic oppression, loss, and betrayal. I also have a strong commitment to supporting BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities, as well as individuals navigating complex identities and experiences.

I take an eclectic and highly personalized approach, tailoring methods to each client’s unique needs, preferences, and goals. My work is trauma-informed and draws from a variety of evidence-based and relational models, integrating tools that align best with each person’s strengths, challenges, and lived experiences. I also incorporate liberation-focused and existential perspectives, particularly when supporting clients from marginalized communities, to foster empowerment, resilience, and meaning-making.

I am an APCC and a passionate advocate for human rights, with a special focus on marginalized and underrepresented communities. As a transgender and intersex therapist, I bring both professional training and lived experience into my practice, honoring each client’s right to be fully seen and affirmed. Outside of my clinical work, I enjoy writing, connecting with the community, and spending time with my dog
