Getting to know Mercedes Borrayo
Hi there, I'm Mercedes! My name is Mercedes Borrayo, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Mira Loma, California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I am bilingual in Spanish and work with adolescents, young adults, and older adults, specializing in anxiety, depression, and stress. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance, and Narrative Therapy to help my clients find their way and start feeling like themselves again.
I earned my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of La Verne, which provided me with a strong foundation to support my clients effectively.
My approach to therapy depends entirely on the needs of my clients. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy to help clients build their toolbox of coping skills and gain a deeper understanding of where they are, so they can meet their goals while finding relief from symptoms and behaviors.
I have found that my approach works well with adolescents, young adults, and older adults facing the challenges of daily life, including anxiety, depression, and phase-of-life concerns. Together, we will work as a team to develop coping skills that support you through the symptoms and behaviors of anxiety, depression, and stress.
My communication style is grounded in unconditional positive regard, helping clients feel they are not alone and have someone on their side. I am calm and understanding, with a warm and welcoming demeanor where you will feel listened to and understood.
My journey to therapy began because I wanted to give people a voice-especially those who felt they did not have one. As an immigrant myself, I often felt voiceless and wanted to help others see themselves clearly. I enjoy helping others find their voice and witnessing their growth.
