About

Wes Imayanagita, LCSW

Licensed Clinical Social Worker · Certified EMDR TherapistMission Viejo, California

I’m Wes — a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has spent the better part of my career sitting with people through the hardest chapters of their lives. Trauma survivors. Adults carrying grief, anxiety, or old wounds. Individuals quietly wondering if things will ever feel lighter.

What I’ve learned is this: healing is rarely a straight line, but it is always possible. My job isn’t to hand you answers — it’s to help you slow down, feel safe, and find the ones already forming inside you.

My work centers on EMDR, supported by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems insight, and — when it fits your story — a respectful integration of faith and spirituality.
