My name is Virginia Orantes, I am a first generation Salvadorian Licensed Clinical Social Worker who emigrated to the U.S. at the age of 10 years old. I speak English and Spanish and I provide therapy services in both languages. I have 15 years working in the mental health field in community mental health clinics and with the L.A. County Department of mental health where I have served adults, older adults and the homeless population. I am also the founder of Blooming Harmony Therapy, a therapeutic space where women can flourish and thrive!

​

Together we can devise a custom approach to help meet your current needs. I start with understanding where you are now and the challenges you are facing in your daily life. We will collaborate with one another in developing a plan to help you move forward and celebrate every single success along the way. I offer an inclusive, supportive and safe space for you to engage in therapy via virtual appointments to suit your schedule and needs. 

​

Helping women live a better life and thrive is my passion. I have struggled with professional burn out, depression and anxiety over time and I understand how difficult it is to ask for help when you feel stuck and are struggling with a sense of hopelessness that seems that it will never end. Through our therapy sessions we can work on learning how to challenge fears, negative thoughts and set healthy boundaries to help you change patterns of behaviors that are keeping you stuck. My goal is to empower you by being supportive and your ally throughout your therapeutic journey and bloom into the best version of yourself and thrive!
