Getting to know Alicia Gutierrez

My name is Alicia Gutierrez, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California. I am passionate about supporting my clients through challenges to experience healing and growth. My goal is to meet you where you are, wherever that may be. Let's work together! I earned my Bachelor's degree and Master’s in Social Work from California State University Long Beach, which provided me with a strong foundation to support individuals on their mental health journeys. My approach At its core, my therapeutic approach is person-centered. Clients “drive the bus” or point me in the direction they want to go, and together we create a plan to reach therapeutic goals. I often use interventions from various modalities to address presenting concerns, most commonly CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, Reality Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Clients usually have “homework” between sessions (unless preferred otherwise), as this is where challenges and opportunities for change arise. My focus I work with individuals 16 and older. I am experienced in supporting clients living with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, chemical dependency/addiction, childhood trauma, PTSD, and relationship conflict. My communication style I want you to feel comfortable and safe during sessions! While I believe in asking hard questions and discussing difficult topics, I also want you to feel safe, heard, and understood. I aim for you to have tangible tools to help work toward your goals. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling a little lighter and more hopeful than when you came in. My journey to mental healthcare I was fortunate to discover early that being a therapist was for me. I was drawn to this field because I enjoy helping people work through problems and love seeing the joy when they resolve challenges they have been dealing with.
