Getting to know ozcar ascencio

Hi there, I'm ozcar! Reaching out for support can be a big step, and I'm glad you're here. I strive to create a warm, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can feel heard, understood, and accepted as you are. Together, we'll explore the challenges you're facing, build on your strengths, and work toward greater balance, healing, and fulfillment in your life. My focus My experience has been in working with youth and adults navigating life transitions, anxiety, stress, self-esteem challenges, relationships, and identity development. I provide a supportive space to build coping skills, gain confidence, strengthen resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change. My approach My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and goal-oriented. I use Motivational Interviewing to help you identify meaningful changes, CBT to explore and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and DBT to build skills for managing emotions, improving relationships, and coping effectively with life's challenges. My communication style My communication style is warm, genuine, and collaborative. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where you feel comfortable being yourself. I balance empathy with honest feedback, helping you feel supported while also encouraging growth, self-awareness, and meaningful progress toward your goals. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist because I am passionate about helping people navigate challenges, discover their strengths, and create meaningful change. Seeing the impact of compassionate support inspired me to pursue this work, and I feel honored to walk alongside clients on their journey toward growth and healing. My goals for you I help clients set meaningful, achievable goals that align with their values. Together, we break challenges into manageable steps, build practical coping skills, monitor progress, and celebrate growth along the way. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and focused on lasting change.
