Getting to know Manuela Aguilar
Hi there, I'm Manuela!
Hello, my name is Manuela Aguilar, and I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to helping individuals overcome challenges related to trauma, relationships, anxiety, grief, and depression. With over 10 years of experience, I specialize in trauma therapy, including PTSD, domestic violence, and sexual assault. I also facilitate a support group for survivors of crime trauma. I believe in creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their emotions and work toward positive change.
I earned my PsyD from California Southern University, which has deepened my understanding of psychological principles and enhanced my clinical skills.
My approach emphasizes Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients develop coping strategies, identify negative thought patterns, and build resilience.
I specialize in helping clients with anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, grief, and PTSD. I have extensive experience working with individuals who have experienced trauma, including abuse, violence, and other traumatic events. The conditions I am most comfortable treating include anxiety disorders such as PTSD, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and Panic Disorder; depression disorders such as Major Depressive Disorder, Dysthymia; and grief disorders including Prolonged Grief Disorder and Complicated Grief Disorder.
I provide a safe and supportive space where you can explore your emotions, build resilience, and find healing. My non-judgmental and supportive style offers a secure environment for you to share your feelings and work toward positive change. I believe in a collaborative approach, working together to understand your unique experiences and create a personalized treatment plan.
My attraction to a career as a therapist was a combination of interest in human psychology and personal experience with traumatic life events. This journey led me to seek answers to questions and emotions I had.
