Getting to know Fernando Rios
Hi there, I'm Fernando!
Hello, my name is Fernando Rios. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist who has been in practice since 2006. I earned my Bachelor's degree from California State University, Los Angeles. I enjoy working with individual adults experiencing mental health concerns who want to manage their symptoms, reduce impairments, and navigate life stressors. I focus on soliciting specific feedback from my clients and collaborate with them to develop tailored treatment plans that are ethical, practical, and effective in addressing their concerns.
My approach
I utilize feedback-informed treatment and incorporate CBT, DBT, solution-focused therapy, person-centered therapy, trauma-informed modalities, and narrative therapy.
My focus
I enjoy working with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, and adjustment problems due to changes, losses, or transitions in life. I also use trauma-informed modalities to help process trauma that may be a barrier in someone's life.
My communication style
I work from a person-centered approach where clients are collaborators in their treatment. I encourage honest and sincere feedback in therapy to inform my treatment style and plan, so I can offer skills, practices, and interventions conducive to my clients' change and progress.
My journey to therapy
I came into the field after discovering my passion for life and relationships, following challenging lessons in my own life that led me on a journey of exploration, frustration, pain, maturity, and growth.
My goals for you
I have open and honest conversations with my clients about what they want to get from my services. I collaborate with them to develop goals they want to work on and achieve so they get the results they are looking for.
