About
Hi there, I'm Evelyn! Hi I’m Evelyn Serna-Balderas. I am a licensed clinical social Worker who appreciates and is motivated in working with individuals to navigate through challenges and experience growth in their journey. My approach I work as a strategist and not solely as a theorist, in the sense that I will incorporate various modalities to fit what a client presents in each session. I utilize CBT, DBT, solution-focused, motivational interview, person-centered as well as psychotherapy approaches. My focus I have had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of clients ranging from children to older adults. I often engage clients who are dealing with anxiety, depression, difficulty in life transitions, bipolar diagnosis, BPD, and dual diagnosis. My communication style I’m very much client-focused and aim to truly meet an individual where they are at. I work on making sure anyone I meet with feels the compassion and empathy I hold for them. My journey to therapy I see it as a privilege to be able to have people share their difficulties and struggles with me. I have had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of populations in various settings, but always strive to respect the needs that are presented. Being able to see growth and implementation of positive skills in people's lives continues to motivate me. My goals for you I work on creating goals with the input of each client. I focus on emphasizing and understanding their needs and wants and incorporating their desires to create each therapeutic goal. My first session with you During the first session, I would want to allow the client to share their current situation and reason for seeking therapy. I hope to be able to get to know the client and what is important for them to begin the process of finding a solution or journey to that version of themselves they hope to reach.
