Bonnie Aguiar, LCSW

Bonnie Aguiar, LCSW

Psychotherapist
CA
Hi there! I'm Bonnie Aguiar, a licensed clinical social worker practicing in California. I hold a Master's in Social Work from San Diego State University and a Bachelor's degree from San Diego Christian College. I work with adolescents and adults of all ages facing a diverse array of challenges, using a warm, approachable, empathetic, and heart-centered style of therapeutic engagement. My approach I am a devout believer in the innate, unconditional worth of every human soul and the ever-present hope for personal growth, developing loving relationships with oneself and others, and living deeply meaningful lives despite the hardships, messiness, and suffering we might encounter. I focus on your individual strengths and how they can be utilized to propel momentum toward positive change while fostering a powerful growth mindset-that any challenge can be overcome step-by-step through skill building, persistence, and taking action on your values. Mental health research underscores the power of empathy and attunement as one of the most powerful vehicles for therapeutic change, and I am committed to empathizing with you and understanding who you are through compassionate, attentive, and active listening. I engage you with thought-provoking questions and exploration of your internal world while simultaneously being an unrelenting voice of hope and belief in your potential. My therapeutic approach draws from an eclectic blend of evidence-based interventions, including motivational interviewing, attachment therapy, psychodynamic therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, internal family systems, schema therapy, trauma-informed care, exposure and response prevention, and more. My focus I have almost six years of experience working with incarcerated male adults in the California prison system and two years of experience working with children and youth in the foster care system.
