Noor Hassan-ContrerasClinical Social Work/Therapist, LLMSW (she, her)

About

My approach is attachment-based to foster security & self-expression and developmentally-attuned to adapt to each child’s cognitive level & emotional capacity. I am Systems-oriented, viewing a child as part of a broader social environment—like their family, classroom or peer group. I utilize Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) which emphasizes safety, choice & empowerment while helping young clients notice their thoughts & feelings and build healthy coping skills. I integrate Expressive & Play-Based Modalities, like games, art & movement, because I believe play is a language every child speaks. Life can be confusing and hard for young people. I offer a warm, supportive space where they can express themselves freely and feel understood. My work focuses on helping children & teens build resilience, confidence, & emotional awareness, and supporting parents in providing routines and reinforcements that help their child feel safe, empowered & connected.
