Getting to know Desiree De Pace

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master's in Clinical Psychology from California State University, Fullerton, I am dedicated to providing compassionate, client-centered care that fosters healing and personal growth. My approach to therapy is integrative, drawing from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Techniques, and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy to tailor treatment to each individual's unique needs. I specialize in working with individuals across the lifespan, helping clients navigate challenges related to anxiety, depression, life transitions, identity exploration, and relationship concerns. My practice is rooted in principles of access, equity, inclusion, and cultural competence, ensuring that therapy is a safe and affirming space for all. I believe in the power of a strong therapeutic alliance and strive to create an environment where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives. My approach to therapy is integrative and client-centered, meaning I tailor treatment to each person's unique needs while drawing from multiple evidence-based approaches. I strive to create a safe, affirming, and culturally responsive space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered. In my work, I commonly use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT) to challenge irrational beliefs and develop healthier perspectives, and Solution-Focused Therapy to emphasize strengths and practical strategies for achieving goals. I also incorporate Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help clients better understand and regulate their emotions, as well as Attachment-Based Therapy to support healthier relationships. I am committed to providing therapy that is inclusive, accessible, and culturally competent.
