Getting to know Dolores Villanueva
Are you able to show up as your authentic self in every space you enter? Are you having difficulty in your life and feeling stuck? Are the things you have tried not getting you the results you want? Whether it be a life transition or an issue that has been bubbling up for a long time and is about to explode, I invite you to partner with me in your healing journey. Talking to a therapist who sees you matters. A therapist who "gets you" AND provides a confidential space for yourself can be the thing that makes a difference. Our sessions will create a brave space for you to reflect, let your emotions out, and become aware of any patterns that contribute to your life and mental health challenges. You get to decide what changes or shifts you want to make. You choose when and how you center your wellness. I will guide you, hold space for you, and teach you about honoring your capacity with boundaries. I know that it is possible to create the life that you want. I am a bilingual LCSW with a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California, culturally centered, and have over 17 years of clinical experience to offer you. My approach is holistic, strength-based, and centered around uplifting you and helping you connect to any ancestral wisdom that can support your journey. My work is rooted in Liberation Psychology, and I always have a Social Justice framework.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Patients who select to work with me will walk away with a clear plan that has been individualized to specific symptoms and life circumstances. They will have treatment goals that they have helped create and an established rapport where they are encouraged to share how they are experiencing therapy. Coping strategies and other concrete tools will be identified and evaluated to the patient can have tools.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
