Jeremy Rintalan is an Associate Clinical Social Worker (ACSW)
Compassion, kindness, empathy, connection, and humility are the values I practice by. Using a trauma-focused lens, I provide integrated therapeutic modalities to best serve the unique needs of each individual. Using a strengths-based approach, I integrate Gestalt Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT, MCBT, TFCBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to tailor treatment and account for the different needs and unique circumstances for each person. My integrated approach helps facilitate growth, accountability, resiliency, and compassion for self and others.With my focus geared toward the person in their environment, I appreciate learning how the environment impacts each person, so they may build a tool box to help them cope and navigate their everyday lives. Through understanding similarities and celebrating differences, I foster safety in my therapeutic relationships and celebrate our innate ability to connect through vulnerabilities.
In my commitment to help serve and support people, I have worked in capacities including public child welfare, treatment centers addressing dual diagnosis and cooccurring disorders, substance use treatment, and public school-based counseling. I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker working toward my licensure for Clinical Social Work with the state of California.

Vanessa Hurtado is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), fluent in Spanish and English
I specialize in working with children. I have training in several therapeutic approaches and identify as an eclectic therapist, drawing from many modalities to create a personalized experience that is suited to your child and family's needs. You can expect the incorporation of psychoanalytic, humanistic, cognitive behavioral, expressive art therapies, and more. Additionally, I like to incorporate the parents/guardians into the treatment and see it to be vital to the child's therapeutic progress. Through therapy, your child will be better able to identify and communicate their feelings, be equipped with scientifically backed coping skills, and improve emotional/behavioral regulation, and the parents will have the tools and knowledge to help their child in the process as well as in their future. Do you wonder how you can help your child? Do you feel as though your child could benefit from additional support? In general, if your child is dealing with extreme emotions like sadness, anger, stress and worry, low self-esteem, or grief, a mental health professional can help. You do not have to figure this out on your own. We are here to help.
