Support can feel more personal when you can speak in the language that feels right to you. I’m Maureen Bonilla Pacier, MA, LMFT, a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with Best Intentions Behavioral Therapy by YYW Services. I offer therapy in English and Spanish for individuals, couples, and families across the lifespan. My approach is warm, collaborative, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed. I earned my MA in Counseling Psychology at Trinity College of Graduate Studies and my BA in Psychology at Chapman University. My background includes more than 20 years in community mental health, school-based services, foster care, private practice, and telehealth. I have worked with Two Chairs, Foresight Mental Health, Orange County behavioral health services, and partial-hospitalization programs, and have experience supporting and supervising developing clinicians. I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, grief, relationship and family conflict, parenting concerns, substance-use concerns, major life transitions, and serious mental illness. My experience includes children and adolescents, adults and older adults, and families managing complex emotional and practical challenges. My work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trauma-focused CBT, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, and relational and family approaches. I have training in EMDR, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Youth Mental Health First Aid. We begin with your concerns and strengths, develop an individualized plan, and practice coping, communication, and problem-solving skills. Your feedback guides our work as we review progress and adjust the plan together. California license: LMFT #85953. NPI: 1306936950.
