Jennifer Escalera — LCSW, CH, TCT
Biography
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), Certified Hypnotherapist (CH), and Certified Trans-Crystal therapist (TCT) with a practice in the Miracle Mile District of Los Angeles, California. I have aspired to helping others since I was a child, especially the most vulnerable and misunderstood. As a young girl, I was sensitive to people’s energy and emotions but was not conscious to the meaning. Not until I was a young adult did I begin exploring the use of meditation, visualizations, energy healings, and learning how to listen to my intuition. I have a special interest in spirituality, the psyche, cultural diversity and norms, particularly belief systems in the power of healing. My diverse background has enabled me to better help children, teens, adults, and families who suffer from various psychological traumas; and understand that there are various levels of healing.
