Getting to know Swanhilda Ochoa
Thank you for reaching out! This is the hardest step to take. Finding a therapist with whom we truly connect is not an easy process. I always tell my clients not to hesitate to change therapists if they do not feel comfortable. The relationship and allegiance created between therapist and client is sacred; it should be genuine and approached with respect, kindness, humility, and compassion.
We are living in difficult times. COVID has turned everyone’s lives upside down, and coping with everyday stressors can be overwhelming. As a clinician with many years of experience, my goal is to provide you with a confidential place where you can feel safe to express yourself and grow. Together, we can find answers, tools, and coping mechanisms to assist you while navigating turbulent waters.
Please allow me to introduce myself. I was born and raised in Puerto Rico and lived in France for 20 years. I have an extensive background and experience in diversity and multiculturalism. I am fluent in English, Spanish, and French. I began my training as a psychotherapist in 2009. I hold a Master’s in Counseling Psychology and a PhD in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. I work with adults, children of all ages, and military families. Being a therapist is a vocation, an honor, and a privilege that allows me to serve. I am a survivor of life myself, and now it is my turn to give back by helping others.
I specialize in trauma, complex trauma, victims of abuse, domestic violence, anxiety, depression, grief, and somatic reactions to trauma (PTSD). I utilize approaches such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), TF-CBT (Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused, Narrative, Spirituality, and Depth Psychotherapy. The approach used will always be client-centered and based on who you are and your needs.
