Getting to know Blanca Lugo

Hi there, I'm Blanca! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in California. I earned my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from San Diego State University and my Doctorate (PsyD) from Alliant International University. For over 20 years, I have been working with women and men who have experienced abusive relationships in childhood and adulthood. My approach I believe safety, respect, and power balance are basic needs of a healthy relationship. My therapy approach is to collaboratively decide what is needed to heal from past relationship wounds and to support my clients through redefining identities and self-worth so they can establish relationships that foster growth and happier lives. My focus I love working with adults and adolescents who are interested in making changes to improve their emotional well-being. I also enjoy collaborating with other mental health professionals to support their emotional health, helping them be their best selves in both personal and professional relationships. My communication style My approach is grounded in open, transparent communication. I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, heard, and free to express themselves without fear of judgment. I believe that dialogue delivered with empathy and respect is essential for a meaningful therapeutic relationship. My goals for you I utilize a collaborative approach to treatment planning, working closely with clients to identify and develop goals that are both meaningful and attainable. Together, we focus on setting short-term objectives. My aim is to empower clients to take an active role in the therapeutic process, fostering autonomy, self-awareness, and the confidence to engage in meaningful change toward the person they aspire to become. My first session with you In our first session together, we'll start with a brief introduction. If you have been to therapy before, we will identify what you enjoyed and what was useful.
