Getting to know Quetzalli Avilez

Hi there, I'm Quetzalli! Hi, my name is Quetzalli [ket-saw-lee] Avilez (feel free to ask me how to pronounce my name). I am a licensed clinical social worker with a Master’s in Social Work from California State University San Marcos, where I also earned my Bachelor's degree. I have been working in this field for 7 years. Some approaches you will see with me are cognitive behavioral therapy, somatic therapy, EMDR, strength-based perspective, and client-centered approach. My approach In my approach to therapy, I focus on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel heard and respected. My goal is to empower you to grow and heal in a way that feels true to who you are. I use a combination of somatic therapy to help you build a mind/body connection to release stored stress and a client-centered approach that emphasizes your unique experiences and strengths. I also integrate a trauma-informed perspective to ensure we understand how past experiences shape your present life. As a Latina, I apply a cultural lens, especially when working with the BIPOC community, to honor and support your cultural values, dynamics, and identity. My focus Typical clients I work with are all adults, with a primary focus on working with BIPOC communities (Black, Indigenous, and people of color). By honoring and integrating cultural backgrounds—whether through language, traditions, family dynamics, or community values—I can provide therapy that feels more relevant, respectful, and empowering. I've worked with people experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma. I have also supported those going through life transitions, relationship problems, past trauma/abuse, women’s health issues, stress, cultural/racial stressors, first- and second-generation challenges, grief and loss, and difficulties with regulating emotions.
