Mental Health Support in High-Stakes 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.
Who I Work With
Individuals in legal or life crisis — navigating cases, disruptions, or prolonged stress
Victims of crime — processing trauma while managing an active legal situation
Attorneys & high responsibility professionals — managing the cumulative weight of high-stakes work
For People Navigating High-Stress Situations
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
Protect your wellbeing and sustain long-term performance
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 supporting individuals and professionals through trauma and high-stress life circumstances.
My work integrates advanced trauma expertise with a strong understanding of complex systems, including the legal environment.
I bring both professional and personal insight into the legal field. I work embedded within a criminal defense and civil rights law firm, giving me direct insight into the pace, pressure, and human complexity of legal work.
I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work from UC Berkeley and completed post-graduate clinical training at UCSF.
I have served as an expert witness and trained professionals on trauma, vicarious trauma, burnout, and communication in high-pressure environments.
People who work with me often experience:
A rapid sense of emotional safety and steadiness
Feeling understood without needing to over-explain
Increased clarity and confidence in complex situations
The ability to stay grounded under pressure
A shift from overwhelm to a more organized internal state
If you are navigating a high-stakes situation or working in a high-pressure role, we can work together to help you stay clear, grounded, and effective.
