Alex Guerrero
I am a clinical psychologist with 18 years of experience working with a variety for people from young adult to older adults. I like to create a supportive environment that fosters growth, exploration, and healing. Building resiliency and adapting to life circumstance is an important aspect of what I do.
Clients have told me that I have a strong ability to assist them in discovering causes and patterns that help understand how to make adjustments in their life that assist them in addressing thiner concerns and feeling better.
I like to help people feel better while promoting independence and insight.

Treatment methods
Psychodynamic
I tend to explore concerns within awareness and just below awareness. In cases were a person says "I feel down lately, but not sure why i'm feeling this way". Would be an example of know one feels down (aware) but not sure why (just below awareness). I like to address concerns within awareness with coping approaches and discussions related to those concerns. I also like to address issues below awareness with exploration of thoughts, feelings and experiences.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
