Psychological Support for the Hardest Situations

Don’t carry the weight alone.

I provide specialized psychological support for individuals navigating complex, high-stakes life circumstances.

Whether you need to think more clearly, feel less alone, or simply get through the next week — this is where we start.

For People Navigating High-Stress Situations

My work is especially suited for people whose situation is still actively unfolding — where the ground hasn't settled yet.

When your life is under pressure

High-stakes situations don’t just happen externally. They affect how you think, how you feel, and how you move through your day.

You may be:

Constantly on edge, waiting for the next development

Struggling to think clearly or make decisions

Carrying fear, anger, or shame with no place to process it

For Attorneys & High-Responsibility Professionals

You carry more than the work itself

Clients in crisis

High-stakes outcomes

Ethical and strategic pressure

Ongoing exposure to trauma and human suffering

And you’re expected to stay sharp

Manage vicarious trauma and emotional load

Maintain clarity and regulation under pressure

Work effectively with emotionally complex clients

Find your way back to yourself after cases that stay with you

This is not open-ended therapy. It is focused, time-limited support designed to help you function, decide, and move forward — with greater steadiness.

You don’t have to navigate this alone.

Janeth Nuñez del Prado, LCSW

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience sitting with people in the hardest moments of their lives — not from a distance, but close in, where the pressure is real and the stakes are not abstract.

My work lives at the intersection of psychological depth and real-world complexity. I bring a genuine fluency in the systems that shape my clients' lives — including the legal system — built through direct, ongoing exposure to the pace, pressure, and human complexity of legal work. I work embedded within a criminal defense and civil rights law firm, which keeps my understanding of that world lived, not theoretical.

I hold a Master's degree in Social Work from UC Berkeley and completed post-graduate clinical training at the UCSF Child Trauma Research Center — one of the country's foremost programs in early trauma, attachment, and the long arc of how adverse experience shapes a life. I have served as an expert witness and trained attorneys, public defenders, and behavioral health professionals on trauma, vicarious trauma, burnout, and communication in high-pressure environments.
