My name is Irene Nunez, I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). My office is based out of North Orange County (Brea) and service clients in surrounding areas as well. I have several years of experience in providing mental health services to children and families in the school setting and in the child welfare system.
I grew up in Inglewood, CA in a Cuban and Mexican American household. During these youthful years, my passion towards social justice and helping others began. I myself struggled with anxiety during these years and decided to make it my life’s mission to become an empathetic listener and advocate for adolescents/their families and adults in the BIPOC communities.
In order to do so, I have become a strong advocate for taking steps towards decolonizing and destigmatizing how we view and participate in therapy and in the mental health field. I believe my approaches are aligned with those of holistic therapy and healing practices. I have taken and continue to take several steps in integrating this into my practice.
Through these experiences I have been able to help individuals find their inner peace, balance, strengths, and walk the middle path towards healing. I provide trauma therapy for adults and children. I believe everyone’s path towards healing is unique. Let’s take that first step together.
-Con Mucho Amor Y Gratitud,
Irene Nunez, LCSW
