Jazmin Alarcon, LCSW
A little about me
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California. I help teens and young adults who are struggling with anxiety and eating disorders. In our sessions, we'll work together to understand your emotions and make them feel more manageable. I bring both personal experience and professional training to this work, and I shape our time around what you need. My goal is to help you handle life's challenges with more ease and confidence.
My interest in psychology started with my own time in therapy. Growing up, I struggled with anxiety and often leaned on coping habits that only helped for a little while. Therapy gave me new skills, new perspectives, and more self-compassion, and it made me want to help others do the same. Some people learn self-love and resilience early. Others, like me, find them later in life, and that's perfectly okay.
Therapy is still a taboo topic in some communities, and I want to help change that. Mental health care is for everyone. Together we'll set goals, notice patterns, and practice new coping skills. Change takes time, but with steady work you can start to feel real progress. My own experience, along with my education and training, has helped many of my clients make meaningful changes.
Everyone's story is different. I want our sessions to be a place where you feel heard and understood, and where you build tools that last.
