Getting to know Ricardo Fraga

Working in mental health for the last 20 years, I work through the use of CBT, DBT, and Gestalt techniques to treat my patients through a solution-focused lens. Our work focuses on positive psychology tools to rebuild self-esteem, increase insight, reconnect with personal spirituality, and identify and address core issues. My focus Those who are open and willing to change. Willing to work with being challenged and willing to utilize the skills we learn to implement this change in their lives My approach I treat people, not diagnoses, is my personal mantra. We work to build our therapeutic alliance through a series of stories, personal reflection, and clinical techniques to achieve and increase a sense of wellness and acceptance. We will build a safe and healing space together. My communication style I have an open and accepting communication style. I often use storytelling and humor to help with perceptual shift and gaining insight into a client's internal process or negative behaviors. My journey to mental healthcare I began my journey as a child of chaos born to caring but neglectful parents. Coping through rebellion, defiance, and negative self-perception. I sought substance use to make myself feel better, but found only deepening self-deprecation and depression. I sought therapy and found a better way to care for myself, develop my true self, and heal. My goals for you We will identify current and past barriers, trauma, and strengths. Discovery of self-values and concentration on building skills that will match therapeutic goals. Our first session The first session will be exploration and identification of our fit together. I will see if we can meet each other's expectations and learn from our histories. There will be identification of self and goal setting.
