Hello! My professional background is multifaceted. I am a Registered Nurse, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and Certified Addiction Professional. I am self-motivated, personable, and a well-rounded professional with a successful record of accomplishments in Behavioral Health. As a professional, I am known as a client advocate and team player, which I deem essential to be able to establish a collaborative relationship with you. I believe in empowering individuals and couples delivering health education, enhancing wellness, and quality of life. My approach is client-centered providing a comfortable, safe, non-judgmental, and compassionate environment. I can assure you that you are going to be treated with dignity and respect. As a bilingual therapist (English Spanish), I have had the opportunity to work with diverse populations and concerns. Some of these include: Substance use and other addictive disorders, Immigration/ Acculturation issues, relationship conflicts, Anxiety, Depression, and adjustment issues among others. I use Motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused, and Trauma informed modalities. I enjoy working with people, so you will set up the pace in which we will work together to set realistic goals that serve you. Making the decision to seek help is huge and takes a lot of courage! I will support you along the way. Guiomar
