Getting to know Kissy Avila Calderon

Hi there, I'm Kissy! Sometimes you know a relationship, thought pattern, or behavior isn’t healthy for you, but knowing that doesn’t always make it easier to change. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma, attachment concerns, and substance use. As a bilingual Black and Hispanic therapist, I provide therapy in both. My focus I especially enjoy working with adults who struggle with anxiety, overthinking, unhealthy relationship patterns, difficulty setting boundaries, fear of abandonment, low self-worth, depression, trauma, or substance use. You may understand what needs to change but find yourself repeating the same patterns. That is often where our work begins. My approach My approach is warm, curious, and insight-oriented. I integrate CBT, psychodynamic, and attachment-based therapy to help you understand not only what you are experiencing, but why certain thoughts, emotions, and relationship patterns continue to show up. My communication style You can expect me to be warm, genuine, curious, and engaged. I listen closely and ask thoughtful questions that encourage deeper reflection. I will support you without judgment, but I will also help you notice patterns and gently challenge you when doing so can help you grow. Therapy with me is a conversation, not a lecture. My journey to mental healthcare Change is rarely a straight line. There may be moments when you understand exactly what is happening but still struggle to do something differently. We can explore that without shame or judgment. Over time, the goal is to move from simply recognizing your patterns to feeling increasingly capable of changing them. My goals for you Our goals will be personal to you. We may work toward reducing anxiety, understanding triggers, strengthening boundaries, improving relationships, increasing self-worth, processing past experiences, or changing behaviors that no longer serve you.
