About Me
I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California for four years and have over seven years of experience working for child protective services. I have worked with a variety of child(ren) and adult clients struggling with a variety of issues including, but not limited to: family conflict, childhood trauma, parenting problems, sexual abuse/exploitation, depression, anxiety, and substance abuse/ addiction. I have worked with various populations of people, including foster youth and incarcerated clients and have a lot of compassion for the circumstances that lead to working with those clients.
My therapy style is empathetic, empowering, and honest. I practice treating everyone with respect and use a trauma-informed approach that includes sensitivity and compassion for understanding behavior. Although my line of work includes diagnosing those seeking help, I do not believe people should incorporate their diagnosis(es) as a label on their identity, instead, mental health is sometimes an obstacle that can be overcome and managed. We all need some help throughout our lives and therapy can either be a short- or long-term tool used to work towards stability and self-actualization. My therapeutic approach utilizes cognitive-behavioral and solution focused therapy. I will work with you to determine your specific needs and create an individualized action plan to help you reach your therapeutic goals.
Seeking out help in a time of need is a very powerful step one can take to working toward changing life circumstances and moving toward more positive outcomes. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Juanita Guevara. We don’t pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Very great listener, understanding, and insightful
She takes days to respond & didn’t offer much help with the issues I had
