CA
Hi there, I'm Patricia! Hello! I'm Patricia Alvarado, a dually Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York. I hold a Master's in Counseling from Loyola Marymount University. I am so grateful that you've embarked on this journey of self-discovery, growth, and healing. I have over a decade of experience in the helping profession, assisting children, teens, and adults on their own personal and unique healing journeys. My approach involves viewing situations through a multicultural lens, enabling me to comprehend your unique needs through active listening, empathy, and a non-judgmental perspective. I specialize in EMDR, CBT, Solution-Focused Treatment, and Mindfulness. My approach Within my work, I bring extensive expertise in treating trauma, anxiety, stress, depression, mindfulness, and grief. Through an EMDR-based approach, I focus on desensitizing and reprocessing negative beliefs, allowing for deep healing without the need for unnecessary re-traumatization. This process involves sharing minimal details while still creating lasting, transformative change. My focus My approach to therapy and my commitment to you are deeply rooted in the belief that we have the ability to lean into our own power and have choices. As this becomes the forefront of our work together, I take an active role in the therapeutic process. I don't just sit down and nod my head. Do I respectfully challenge situations? Yep! Can it be incredibly insightful? Yep! Can it be uncomfortable? Also yep! But the rewards obtained while looking inward and noticing what is happening with the mind, body, and soul allow us to further our work on the basis of choice. I am profoundly invested in your healing and growth while celebrating your successes and empathizing with your struggles. The foundation of our work together is the therapeutic relationship, which is central to my work.
