Luis Contreras

Therapist

Virtual • San Diego, CA


I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 25 years of experience providing mental health services in behavioral health, crisis intervention, community mental health, and medical settings. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, family conflict, and other emotional challenges.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and trauma-informed. I believe healing happens when clients feel safe, understood, and empowered. I work alongside clients to build on their strengths, develop practical coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment.

Throughout my career, I have provided therapy and clinical support in outpatient, community-based, hospital, college mental health, and correctional settings. In my private practice, I provide bilingual psychotherapy to individuals and families experiencing trauma, stress, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, and behavioral health issues. I also have extensive experience supporting foster, adoptive, and biological families caring for children impacted by trauma and attachment-related difficulties.

My professional background includes crisis stabilization, risk assessment, treatment planning, wraparound services, and multidisciplinary care coordination for youth and families with complex needs. I am also a part-time lecturer in the School of Social Work at San Diego State University, where I teach and mentor future social workers.

I am passionate about culturally responsive care, equity in mental health services, and helping clients feel empowered throughout their healing journey. I provide services in both English and Spanish and welcome clients from all backgrounds.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Visalia

Searching for therapists in Visalia starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for specialties and therapy styles listed in each profile, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples therapy. If you are considering marriage counseling in Visalia, CA, or couples therapy in Visalia, review whether the therapist has specific training in working with partners.

In a smaller city like Visalia, local in-person options may be more limited than in larger California markets. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in California. Consider practical fit alongside clinical focus, including appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether their session format works with your schedule. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their communication style, approach to care, and what a first session may look like before you book.

Therapy in Visalia can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see a clear estimate before your first appointment. Headway helps you search therapists and psychologists in Visalia, CA, who match your needs, take insurance, and offer in-person or virtual sessions. You can compare profiles, check availability, review estimated costs, and book directly when you are ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
