Hi, my name is Linet Olivarez. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in the mental health field for over ten years. I have experience working with adolescents, adults, and older adults in a variety of practice settings: juvenile justice, healthcare setting, and emergency response. I am passionate about working with individual’s who may be dealing with difficulty in life transitions and/or painful experiences. The majority of clients seeking therapy is due to something is having a negative impact on their qualify of life.I aim to help clients in identifying the root causes and removing the obstacles to satisfying relationships – with themselves and others. My goal is to remove obstacles blocking my client’s path by helping them identify what those are and supporting them in feeling secure within themselves.I strive to create a non-judgmental environment that is empathetic, supportive, and collaborative. I keep in mind that the therapeutic relationship is ever-evolving, and is a healthy mix of being in the present and then examining the process, making changes as needed.
