Meet Rosalyn Avant, LCSW

Hi there, I'm Rosalyn! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 23 years of experience helping individuals, families, and communities heal and thrive.

My journey in social work has taken me through diverse settings β€” from medical social work and child welfare to private therapy, prisons, and parole. I've had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, young adults, adults, and older adults, bringing depth and understanding to each therapeutic relationship.

Currently pursuing my doctorate degree in Social Work at USC, I am also a certified informed addiction medicine professional, certified grief and loss professional, and trauma-informed professional. I specialize in working with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and substance abuse.
