Autumn Altamirano

Autumn Altamirano is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), a master’s-level social work professional trained to provide therapy, with 10 years of experience supporting people across varied settings such as private practice, outpatient care, and school-based services. She works with clients navigating concerns like depression, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, low motivation, major life transitions, family conflict, and relationship challenges, tailoring the work to what feels most relevant and manageable for each person.

Originally from Orange County, California, Autumn now lives in Nashville, Tennessee. She earned an undergraduate degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Southern California, building a strong foundation for practical, evidence-based care.

Autumn’s work is grounded in a client-centered approach, meaning she starts where the client is and treats each person as the expert on their own life. Clients help set the pace, direction, and depth of therapy, while she brings structure and tools that fit the concerns at hand. Her primary methods include evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy. Depending on a client’s needs, she may also incorporate attachment-based therapy and psychodynamic therapy.

Her style is warm, genuine, and supportive, with a strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship. Autumn prioritizes helping clients feel comfortable and building trust, recognizing that meaningful progress often depends on rapport and collaboration. Together, she works with clients to clarify goals and create practical steps for moving through current challenges.

Outside of her work, Autumn enjoys playing soccer, watching sports, reading, cooking, spending time with her husband and children, and traveling to new places.
