Getting to know Jesus Escalante

My strong belief is that no one should battle mental health alone. Through co-creating a safe and brave space built on empathy, compassion, and trust, my goal is to guide you towards a place of healing and growth. Whether it's processing unresolved complex trauma or managing depression, I am here to witness and support all parts of you. My approach When working with me, you'll get a client-centered approach where my goal is to meet you where you are at. I believe in providing non-judgmental care focusing on positive affirmations, validation, normalizing emotions and experiences, and leading with great empathy. My focus My primary client focus is people of color and LGBTQIA+ folks with Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and/or substance use, as well as mood and personality disorders. Through trauma-informed care, harm reduction, DBT, mindfulness, and Gestalt therapy, I can provide you with the tools and resources to manage symptoms and behaviors. My communication style When communicating, I lead with gentleness, curiosity, excitement, positivity, laughter, and compassion. I set a tone of encouraging brave speech by welcoming in a space free of judgment with positive regard. The environment can switch depending on where you are that day and what tone is most appropriate to make you feel grounded. My journey to mental healthcare I attended UC Berkeley for my Master's in Social Work, where I focused on mental health and grew a passion for harm reduction. My work since has been supporting substance use and mental health due to personal experiences of witnessing how difficult and isolating the journey can be. I knew I wanted to help others feel less alone and supported. My goals for you In reaching your goals, I always collaborate with clients to make sure the goals come from you. It is important the goals are in alignment with the future you envision for yourself and normalizing changing or modifying goals as you progress in treatment.
