Meet the Business Owner
Laurie H.
Business Owner
I received my Masters of Social Work from Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri in 1994. After completing my social work internship at a peace and justice organization in Mexico City, I moved to Washington D.C. and began my career working with children and families. I became licensed in Maryland in 1998.
I moved to San Diego in 1998 and began working with traumatized children and families at Children’s Hospital. I specifically focused on working with children who were victims of physical and sexual abuse. I became licensed in California in 2002.
In March of 2004, I opened my private practice. I continue to work with children and families and have expanded my practice to include clients who are suffering from depression, anxiety, marital issues, and family conflict. I work with children ages 2 – 18, adults, couples, and families. I am fluent in both written and spoken Spanish and conduct therapy sessions in both English and Spanish.
