Hey you, I know how intimidating it can be to start therapy. Meeting with a total stranger sharing ALL the things can feel overwhelming. I’d like to share a little about myself in the hopes it makes you feel more comfortable. My name is Lynzie (she/her) and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Central California. I received my Masters in Social Work at California State University, Bakersfield. I have been working in the social work field since 2013 with children, adolescent, adults, and families. I believe the therapeutic bond is created through authentic connections.
I am a school social worker, a therapist, a mom, a wife, a sister, a cancer survivor, and so much more. Mental health is a passion of mine, because I’m human and have been through difficult times. I lost my mom when I was a toddler, and unfortunately, during that time mental health support wasn’t an option offered to me. I never want somebody to struggle in silence, or feel like they don’t have somebody in their corner. I’m here to walk alongside you in your journey towards personal growth and acceptance.Your authentic self is waiting… I’m looking forward to being given the opportunity to get to know you.
Lynzie Genel, LCSW
