Iris Nieto, LCSW

I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, attachment difficulties, and mood dysregulation. Many of my clients feel stuck in unhealthy patterns or overwhelmed by transitions. My approach centers on helping clients understand their emotional responses, reconnect with their strengths, and develop concrete tools to regulate, heal, and move forward. Whether you're recovering from trauma or building resilience in day-to-day life, therapy with me offers structure, safety, and support.

Angel Cano, CSW

I am a Certified Social Worker (CSW) and earned my Master of Social Work (MSW). I am originally from Los Angeles. I bring a deep appreciation for diverse communities and an understanding of the unique challenges individuals and families may experience.

My professional background includes working with children, teenagers, and young adults, supporting individuals and their families as they navigate complex systems, personal challenges, and important life transitions.

I am passionate about creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel genuinely heard, respected, and understood. My therapeutic approach is grounded in empathy, cultural humility, and meeting clients where they are. I strive to help individuals build resilience, develop healthy coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change in their lives.

Lara Hamzah, CSW-I

Hi, I’m Lara. If you’ve found your way here, chances are you’ve been carrying more than anyone should have to carry alone. Maybe life has felt heavy for a long time, or a recent experience has left you feeling unsettled, anxious, or disconnected from yourself. Whatever your story is, this is a space where you can exhale, be heard, and begin to heal at your own pace. You don’t have to have all the right words or know exactly where to start. Simply showing up is a powerful first step.

I focus on helping people navigate the impact of difficult or overwhelming experiences, working together to untangle what’s been holding you back and find a way forward. My style is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based tools, but also shaped by who you are and what you need most in the moment.
