Getting to know Meta Velez

I am a dually licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and Marriage and Family Therapist, gratefully serving California residents via the convenience, privacy, and affordability of Telehealth. I specialize in helping my clients navigate the challenges of Life Transitions, decision-making, Grief, and Loss. My approach My goal as a therapist is to see you, know you, and ease your way. I believe therapy should help bring a sense of “calm to the chaos” and instill hope in times of stress and difficulty. My treatment modality is Person-Centered, utilizing an Integral, customized approach that includes a range of interventions (Meaning-making, Mindfulness, CBT, DBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, etc.) to be determined by each client’s unique needs. I build alliances with my clients from a place of deep empathy, acceptance, and authenticity, and I believe this is the key to helping them find their path to lasting solutions, healing, and change. My focus My clients are individual adults and couples. I work with people who are grieving a loss, experiencing emotional dysregulation, having interpersonal problems or communication issues, or who just need help with decision-making and taking the next steps through challenging life events and changes. I am trauma-informed and have specialized in Complicated Bereavement for many years, and the primary principles of acceptance, integration, and instillation of hope that I learned through that work now inform my method of treatment of many other cognitive and emotional problems. My communication style My guiding motto is “See you, know you, ease your way.” I am deeply empathic, intuitive, non-judgmental, and authentic. I create a space of safety and comfort for my clients where they are heard, validated, sometimes challenged, and always supported. I do not act as the “expert” in this process but rather find that therapy is most successful when done as a collaborative alliance, respecting and believing in each person’s ability,
