Getting to know Veronica Acosta

How amazing is it that you are seeking to give someone your story. I am willing to hold it with you and help you work through a beautiful change in perspective. I am motivated for you to become even greater than you already are. My approach I really pride myself on offering a non-judgmental space for the people I work with. Every session, I truly intend on "meeting you where you're at", and I emphasize so much how you should do the same for yourself. I am very personable yet transparent. I am motivated to help others see their true potential. Change is within all of us. My focus Truly, I enjoy someone who is okay with being challenged and open to understanding their own perspective. I enjoy working with individuals who understand they have trouble with emotional regulation but are curious, open, and motivated, even if sometimes it's hard to pull out of themselves. My communication style I am very transparent. I love to say, "Can I challenge that thought?" However, I am so easy-going and fluid in my communication. Therapy shouldn't feel strict. I am easy-going and allow you to be the leader in the session, but in many ways, my goal is to challenge your intrusive thoughts, sometimes your perspective, but I do this without judgment. My journey to mental healthcare I have so much personal experience with trauma as a child and young adult. This led me to a therapist who changed my life. I learned that in order for others to become resilient, it only takes ONE person to come into our lives and change the perspective. I am hopeful to be the ONE, or lead you to become the ONE for others also. My goals for you My favorite words and phrases are the following: "normalize" and "meet yourself where you're at." We as humans try to talk ourselves out of emotions so badly because we'd prefer not to feel them, but as a therapist, my goal is to get you comfortable to sit in the discomfort. You'd be surprised at how capable you are. From there, goals are met.
