“She knows just the way to guide me to think about the actual problem without telling me. And then I have an AHA moment and she smiles and I realize that she was guiding me to figure it out instead of just talking at me.”

Getting to know Siomara Calixtro
I am Siomara Calixtro, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pacific Oaks College. I have extensive experience working with adolescents and adults of all ages. In my private practice, I utilize a compassionate, client strength-based approach to ensure clients feel safe and understood. I focus on meeting clients' needs and expectations for treatment care.
My approach
My most common theoretical approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Holistic Therapy, and Family Systems Interventions, depending on the clients' needs and respecting their belief systems.
My focus
I am comfortable treating Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Depression, Anxiety, Attention Deficit Disorder, Bipolar I and II, and relationship issues.
My communication style
My communication style emphasizes active listening, respectful boundaries, professional expectations, and an appropriate tone of voice.
My journey to therapy
I was drawn to serve as a therapist because of my desire to improve my community as a Spanish-speaking therapist. I recognize that the need for these services in Spanish is often overlooked or understaffed, and I wish to change that.
My goals for you
During the first session, while building rapport, I ask clients about their treatment goals and ensure I am the right fit to serve them to the best of my abilities.
My first session with you
In the first session, clients can expect to begin building rapport, be assessed for suicidal or homicidal ideation to ensure safety, elaborate on treatment goals, and develop a plan for the following session.
