Gabriela Quirarte, LCSW
About me
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who enjoys working with clients while focusing on their strengths and experiences to promote their growth and development. I graduated from the University of Southern California with my Master of Social Work and continue to be based in southern California.
For the past six years I have worked with clients and their families to address their concerns including depression, anxiety, parenting, life transitions, behavioral difficulties, traumas, family dynamics and more, providing services in English and Spanish. My approach is strengths based, client centered and solution focused. I believe that my clients have many strengths and valuable experience that are essential in the therapeutic process, I am confident that my clients are capable of reaching their goals with some work and consistency and I am here to be a part of their team and provide support and tools to do so.
