Background and Education

If you feel you are so overwhelmed by your thoughts  and emotions getting in the way of you living your best life, I am here to help. 

Welcome to my practice! I am Almaz Nigusse-Bland, LCSW. A Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of California providing virtual therapy. I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology from Sonoma State University and my masters degree in Clinical Social Work from University of Pennsylvania School of Social Policy and Practice.  

In the last 13 years, I had the privilege of working with individuals in various phases of life and in recent years with adult and aging individuals with memory challenges.

It takes bravery to reach out and I'm glad you're taking a big step toward your healing by searching for a therapist.
