Getting to know Mario Ponce

I support kids, parents, individuals, couples, and families. My favorite part of my work is making small changes in people's lives. My approaches integrate expertise in CBT, DBT, ACT, solution-focused therapy, and trauma. I strive to be approachable, open-minded, and eager to meet you where you're at. My approach I'm approachable, open-minded, and genuinely eager to meet you where you're at to help you make progress in your life and relationships. I'm inspired by Maya Angelou's wisdom: people will not remember what you say, but they will remember how you made them feel. My focus I like to meet you where you're at and go at your pace. I believe in being genuine, and being yourself is important in this process. I work with a wide variety of needs and concerns, helping you identify what matters most and supporting you through the changes you want to make. My communication style I have an open communication style, which means that at times I'm okay with you taking the lead in communication. Having communication is better than no communication at all. I create a space where you can share openly and feel heard. My journey to mental healthcare I started working with a non-profit organization as a counselor. I've always wanted to have a private practice that will allow me to work with clients from diverse populations and assist in providing services in both Spanish and English. My goals for you I help my clients reach their goals by helping you come up with what your goals are in therapy and what you want to get out of our sessions together. I'm a big fan of collaboration and working as a team to create meaningful change. My first session with you Our first session would be used to establish rapport, answer questions about the process, and be there to hear your concerns and ideas, and future goals. We'll take time to get to know each other and begin building a foundation for our work together.
