Micaela Vicuna, LMFT

Psychotherapist
CA
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Life is challenging, and being human is hard. My approach to therapy is being an unbiased third party with two open ears, offering guidance, empathetic support, motivation, and maybe some tough love! My approach I have an eclectic approach to therapy when it comes to theoretical approaches. I focus more on what I think best suits a client versus trying to mold a client to fit a specific methodology. My focus I do a little bit of everything. From working with individuals, couples, and families. I would say I most commonly work with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and relational troubles. Such as boundaries and communication. My communication style All of my current clients would say I'm very "real" and easy to talk to. I treat my clients as equals and with respect. I also like to insert humor when appropriate because I believe laughter is food for the soul. And we could all use it. My journey to mental healthcare I'm a person who has experienced a lot of life from a very young age. My own journey being a client of therapy throughout my life has been fundamental in learning myself and how I choose to live my life to the best of my abilities. I have always enjoyed the practice of therapy and thought it would be the coolest thing to call it my job when it's really it's simply a privilege to get to know others, hold a safe space for them to be vulnerable, and help in any kind of struggle however I can. My goals for you I let the client lead with goal setting and implement their desires while also providing different approaches on how to get there. An incremental, step-by-step process where smaller goals are achieved along the way to the ultimate one. My first session with you I like to introduce what I consider therapy to be, my approaches, gain a general idea of what is pressing, shoot the shit a bit, and build rapport. Getting a feel for one another.
