“Acinta was absolutely wonderful to work with! She took the time to listen to my needs and concerns, while also being mindful and respectful of my cultural and spiritual beliefs. She provided me with the tools and resources I needed to address my goals. I felt heard and seen, and was able to take everything we discussed and apply it to my life and relationships. When I started I felt deflated and discouraged about so many things. Acinta has helped me during some big transitions of my life and I am so grateful to have gotten to work with her!”

Getting to know Acinta Monteverde
Hi there, I'm Acinta Monteverde, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master's in Counseling Psychology from the University of Santa Monica.
My approach to therapy is holistic and eclectic, customized to each client's unique needs and openness. I bring life experiences alongside my formal training; having struggled with depression and suicidal ideation, I have a deep, empathetic understanding of those facing similar challenges. Anxiety has also been part of my daily personal journey, and I have learned effective tools to manage it. Part of my practice is to share these tools to empower my clients.
My approach is influenced by Carl Rogers' client-centered therapy, emphasizing gentleness and unconditional positive regard. I also incorporate mindfulness-based techniques that focus on self-compassion and awareness.
I primarily work with clients experiencing depression and anxiety, often during life transitions. I am most comfortable working with clients who are self-motivated and do not have active addictions or suicidality.
In sessions, I create an informal environment where rapport is established, and a safe space is fostered so clients feel comfortable sharing.
My journey to therapy began with a lifelong desire to help others, though it took me 30 years-raising a family and navigating life-to pursue my graduate degree. Therapy has been invaluable to me, helping me through depression many years ago. Witnessing the improvements in my clients' lives is deeply fulfilling.
When we begin working together, I introduce the importance of setting goals during our initial intake. I emphasize that these goals are fluid and can evolve or become clearer over time.
