About – Quién Soy

Hello! My name is Angelica Quezada, I am a Clinical Social Worker specializing in individual therapy for adults, providing in person and Telehealth sessions for residents throughout California. Starting a mental health journey can be challenging, especially when therapy is seen as a stereotype, and our mental health is placed in the back burner. This is why my practice focuses on working with the Latino/Hispanic community, specifically women and men who identify as first generation, and in the pre and postnatal stage of life.

¡Hola! Mi nombre es Angelica Quezada, soy una trabajadora social clínica especializada en terapia individual para adultos, brindando sesiones en persona y de telesalud para residentes en todo California. Comenzar un viaje de salud mental puede ser un desafío, especialmente cuando la terapia se ve como un estereotipo y nuestra salud mental se coloca en un segundo plano. Es por esta razon que mi práctica se enfoca en trabajar con la comunidad latina/hispana, específicamente mujeres y hombres que se identifican como primera generación, y en la etapa pre y postnatal de la vida.
