Getting to know Aritcela Vega

Hi there, I'm Aritcela! Hello, my name is Aritcela Vega. I’ve been a marriage and family therapist for the past 11 years. During this time, I’ve worked with a variety of ages and cultures, addressing a wide range of symptoms including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and trauma, to name a few. My approach in therapy is to work with my clients to ensure they feel supported and safe throughout the process. My approach I focus on making sure my clients feel validated and supported. My approach varies based on each individual and their unique experiences. Some of the theoretical approaches I like to utilize include strength-focused therapy, where we build on a client’s inner strengths rather than trying to fix weaknesses or deficits. I also incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy and psychodynamic therapy, exploring my clients’ childhoods to connect past experiences with current issues, helping to understand who they are and where they come from. My focus I have experience working with anyone willing to be open to therapy, including children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. My communication style I create a tone and environment where clients feel comfortable working with me. My clients know this is not just a job for me—I have a genuine passion for helping others and truly care about their well-being. My journey to therapy I believe nothing happens by accident. I randomly decided to study therapy, but during my first class, I fell in love with it and knew this was the right path for me. I am driven by helping others and witnessing the positive changes my clients make. Their growth brings me great happiness. My goals for you Goal setting is something I do collaboratively with each client, ensuring we work together toward meaningful progress. I earned my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from California State University, Dominguez Hills.
