Getting to know Juan Contreras

Feeling stuck in a rut? Anxious about... well, a lot of things? Struggling to connect with others or even yourself? It's tough, though you don’t have to face it alone. Life can feel overwhelming, and it’s okay to need support. I believe therapy is also for the "strong". You don’t have to wait to talk to someone who gets it.

What should a new client know about working with you?

As your therapist, I can offer a space to not only explore and make sense of what you're going through but also to develop practical tools that help you respond in ways that feel more grounded, empowered, and true to you. The specific approach we take will be guided by your needs, goals, & pace. I believe you are the expert of your own life, and that’s why I take a collaborative approach to therapy. My clinical approach combines evidence-based approaches such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), & Psychodynamic Therapy.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

It's normal to feel nervous, sacred, or even hopeful about therapy. If you’re feeling stuck, anxious, overwhelmed, or ready for something gradual to shift, I’m here for you. When you're ready, I’d be honored to support you in taking that next step.
