About
Liliana Ventura, LCSW
I draw upon my background as a working-class Latina to provide therapeutic services to individuals, families, and groups. Growing up in an immigrant family from El Salvador, I became fluent in Spanish, enabling me to connect authentically with Spanish-speaking and immigrant clients. With extensive experience working at various non-profits in the Philadelphia region, I have focused on supporting immigrants and victims of crime, allowing me to understand and support the challenges they face.
I believe that truly listening to my clients and providing them with the sense of being seen and heard lays the foundation for a supportive and transformative therapeutic journey. I am dedicated to creating a safe space where clients can explore their emotions, set meaningful goals, and embark on a journey of healing and self-discovery.
Important parts of me: I am a proud Latina, mom to a daughter, and social worker.
