Getting to know Katherine Cuellar-Lei

Hi, I am Katherine Cuellar-Lei. I am a Spanish-speaking bilingual LMFT with a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from California State University, Fullerton, and have been in practice for over 10 years. I truly believe everyone has strengths, and I like to amplify them in our work together. I believe in challenging the patterns that keep us stuck respectfully and inquisitively. My approach I mainly operate from a Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) approach and am EMDR trained. I am currently pursuing certification as a play therapist with kids. I am integrative and love to incorporate modalities from other theories as appropriate. My focus I work with older teens to adults in a telehealth setting. I am comfortable with conditions including depression, anxiety, acculturative stress, and autism. With my history as an ABA therapist, I have a profound appreciation for working with those on the spectrum. As a child of immigrants, I also love working with multicultural families. My communication style I believe in being authentic in therapy; my style is interactive and engaging. I challenge thoughts and patterns that keep us stuck but always respectfully and inquisitively. My journey to mental healthcare My drive to become a therapist stemmed from witnessing a family member’s mental health struggles. I see the grit, exhaustion, and fight it takes to battle mental health conditions, and I want to serve those in whatever way I can. My goals for you I believe goal setting is collaborative and continuously worked on. I assess goals at different points in therapy. We feel most successful working with the end in mind and knowing where we are headed. My first session with you In my first session, I aim to get to know you—your experiences, strengths, and interests, as well as current challenges.
