Getting to know Paola Nieto-Aguayo

My goal in therapy is to be a strong support for you as you own your story and learn to practice more love and acceptance for yourself. Reaching out to a therapist can be scary and vulnerable, and I hope to provide a safe space for you to identify your goals and begin to make positive, values-based changes toward a more meaningful and fulfilling life. I have experience working with individuals in recovery, newly diagnosed with HIV, and trauma. I utilize a combined approach of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to meet your therapy goals. I am certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy, a structured, evidence-based approach. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Southern California, which has equipped me with a strong foundation to support diverse client needs. My approach is strength-based to empower you to identify your core values and challenge and conquer barriers that have kept you from living in true alignment with those values. I look forward to witnessing your bravery as you explore, learn, grow, and heal.
