Getting to know Adrienne Aguiar

Welcome! Taking the first step into your therapeutic journey can feel so daunting and overwhelming, and I'm glad you are here! I specialize in working with individuals who struggle with eating disorders/disordered eating, body image struggles, exercise addiction, perfectionism, gender identity, and sexual trauma. My approach As an eating disorder clinician, I work from an anti-diet approach to heal your relationship with food, body, and exercise. Our sessions may include deep processing work where we explore the inner workings of your childhood narratives, while other sessions may be skill-focused using DBT, CBT, and ACT to focus on emotion regulation skills. My focus Do you have anxiety around food? Are you staring at yourself in the mirror and tearing your image apart? Did you experience an event that changed your life? Whether you struggle with an ED, trauma, or anxiety, I will walk alongside you on your journey through healing, and we will create goals together that feel aligned with your values and life. My communication style I am a warm, compassionate, and at times direct therapist. I believe in providing a safe space for you to explore your thoughts and emotions, while providing you with thoughtful questions for you to reflect on. My intentions are for you to find self-discovery and growth within yourself. I also enjoy throwing in some humor and warmth in our sessions. My journey to mental healthcare I graduated from CSU Channel Islands in 2016 with my BA in Psychology and then attended CLU and obtained my MS in Clinical Psychology in 2018. I completed my MS in Counseling Psychology (MFT) in 2021. I have always been a “helper” and knew I was destined to be a therapist. I believe in my own healing, in helping others in their journey of healing. My goals for you Therapy is a journey, and I walk alongside you on this journey. You are the expert on yourself, and I will work collaboratively to support you in achieving your goals.
