Getting to know Miguel Balderas

Hello, I am Miguel! My name is Miguel Balderas, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) providing telehealth services to clients throughout California. I hold a Master's in Psychology from Brandman University. I work with adults, specializing in couples facing relationship issues and individuals dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, grief and loss, and trauma. My approach I utilize a client-centered approach that is non-judgmental and empathic, maintaining an open mind to help people find solutions to the issues they bring to therapy. Each person's perspective of their experiences is unique, and I collaborate with clients to develop a treatment plan tailored specifically to their needs. People are the experts of their own lives and can change behaviors through self-awareness, self-reflection, and focusing on what is meaningful and productive while establishing and maintaining healthy lifestyles and relationships. I draw from various approaches depending on the client's needs, regularly incorporating concepts from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Psychodynamic, Narrative Therapy, and others. I also provide Christian-based counseling. My focus My client population and specialty include working with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, grief and loss, self-esteem issues, cultural assimilation, and relationship problems. I emphasize cultural sensitivity based on what clients present in sessions. Being bicultural and bilingual, I provide mental health services in both English and Spanish. My experience includes working with clients identifying with mainstream American culture, clients from diverse backgrounds, and those seeking a cultural balance. My communication style The most important aspect of communication is being a good listener, and I strive to model active listening in practice.
