Mauricio Mairena, LCSW

Psychotherapist
CA
Hi there, I'm Mauricio! I have over 20 years of helping individuals heal from trauma whether that trauma comes from childhood, relationships or life events using evidenced based trauma focus practices such as EMDR, Cognitive Positive Therapy, and Written Exposure Therapy. My focus I primarily work with clients who are suffering from trauma and PTSD due to adverse life events including assault, abuse and addiction. During the initial session we will look at the root problem, process the trauma and find alternative healthy thoughts, emotions and behavior to stabilize and increase life enjoyment. My approach Trauma can leave you feeling on edge, shut down, or in stuck patterns that no longer serve you, even when life looks "fine" on the outside. Trauma focused therapy is a non judgmental, empowering approach that that helps create safety and can improve your quality of life. My communication style I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with you as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient. My journey to mental healthcare I decided to become a therapist when I realized that change is possible and developed a desire to help others find strength through life’s challenges. Working with trauma survivors showed me the power of therapy in healing. My goals for you I see therapy as a partnership. Together, we’ll set goals that matter to you—whether that’s improving relationships, building self-esteem, or pursuing personal growth. As you gain new insights, we’ll adapt your plan to stay meaningful and supportive as you move toward where you want to be. Our first session The first session will be our opportunity to get to know each other and determine the root cause of your life challenges and the goals to overcome these challenges.
