Getting to know Juan Ponce

My name is Juan Ponce, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master's in Social Work from San José State University. Currently based in San Diego, CA, I work with clients via telehealth. I have over 9 years of experience in the mental health field. Being bilingual in English and Spanish, I provide a culturally competent, non-judgmental, and safe space where clients can explore their feelings. My approach I use an integrative approach tailored to each client's needs, beginning with compassion and empathy. I frequently incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, strength-based, and solution-focused techniques to challenge, empower, and help clients build insight. Additionally, I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and mindfulness-based practices to guide clients toward healthier ways of managing their lives. My focus Throughout my career, I have worked with diverse populations and enjoy supporting people of all ages. I specialize in anxiety, depression, stress management, mood disorders, and trauma. I also assist individuals with relationship issues, life transitions, grief, self-esteem, sexuality and gender, and substance use concerns. My communication style My communication style is calm, empathetic, and understanding, aimed at creating a secure and comfortable space for anyone to address their mental health needs. My journey to mental healthcare My motivation to enter the mental health field came from a desire to support others and make a positive, lasting impact in my community. My goals for you I take a collaborative approach to goal setting, working together with clients to develop a plan to achieve their goals. I hope to provide clients with tools to better manage life's stressors and live a more balanced life through the power of therapy.
