Jovanna Borquez, MS, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #116480

Hello my name is Jovanna Borquez, I graduated from Mount Saint Mary’s University in 2016 with a Master’s of Science in Counseling Psychology. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Child Development from California State University Los Angeles. I am a bilingual licensed marriage and family therapist with a passion for children/youth and their families overcome lives challenges.

I treat children and adolescents struggling with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, behavioral issues, and traumatic events. I utilize interventions that assist with meeting children and adolescents where they’re at and creating trust in a non-judgmental environment to improve functioning.

I also treat adults in individual psychotherapy struggling with a variety of life stressors and difficulties. Through our collaborate work we identify behavioral patterns that contribute distress and implement self-empowerment interventions to assist in reaching your highest potential. I look forward to working with you!
