Mohini Bolkhovitinov, LCSW (Behavioral Health Manager)

Biography

I graduated from the University of Southern California where I obtained my Masters in Social Work. I later completed my clinical hours working in acute psychiatric care and then with homeless adults and families. After becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I have worked in private practice settings and pursued certifications and training in Somatic Therapies. I love being a therapist and a social worker, to have the privilege of supporting clients through their healing and discoveries.

 

Practice Philosophy

My practice philosophy is client centered and guided by the premise that I can be a conduit of each client’s healing, stabilization and understanding. Each person holds the ability to heal within themselves and I am there to support this process. I incorporate somatic (mind-body) therapy into traditional talk therapy modalities, when clinically indicated.

Practice Philosophy

Warren Beacom, LCSW

Biography

I grew up in Pasadena, CA and graduated from Blair High School.  I received my bachelor’s degree in social ecology from UC Irvine, my master’s degree in counseling from Cal State Fullerton, and my master’s degree in social work from San Diego State.

One of my first jobs was working with YMCA New Horizons, which took disabled youth camping and even to Vegas and Hawaii!  It was such a cool experience and such great people that I was intrigued by the field of counseling and social work. Coming from a broken home gave me empathy for those who had losses and difficulties in their lives.

 

Practice Philosophy

My practice philosophy is summed up by Romans 8:28.  No matter what your situation, God uses it to move you forward and grow your spiritual muscles.  I encourage clients to journal because you can literally see God at work in your life when you go back and read the entries in the past.
