Getting to know Carlos Quintero

Hi there, I'm Carlos! My name is Carlos Quintero, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I know that the decision to start therapy is a huge step, and actually going through with it can bring fear or anxiety. Therapy is not always easy—it takes time, money, and the effort to open up to someone who, regardless of experience or training, is just a stranger at first. My approach I have used various methodologies throughout my career, such as Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Existential Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Multicultural Therapy. My focus I have worked in various settings, including social work, community mental health agencies, and hospital outpatient services. My communication style I want you to feel that you are an integral part of therapy and that it is a collaborative effort. I never want you to walk away feeling unheard or judged. My journey to mental healthcare My drive to help others understand themselves and the world around them has been something I have enjoyed for the past 15 years. I strive to help clients become independent and to support their needs. Previous clients have described my strengths as my openness to understand them and to make them feel truly listened to—not just talked to. My goals for you I have experience treating clients with various diagnoses, from mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder to personality disorders like borderline personality disorder, as well as clients struggling with schizophrenia or other psychoses. My first session with you I use my past experiences working with clients from all walks of life and diverse backgrounds to better understand your point of view and to be a better therapist for you. I earned my Master’s in Psychology from Pepperdine University, which has helped shape my approach and deepen my commitment to providing compassionate, effective care.
