About me
Hi, I’m Bithia, a bilingual clinical social worker based in Phoenix, Arizona. For the past decade, I have had the privilege of supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families through a wide range of life challenges. My clinical experience includes helping new parents navigate perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, including anxiety, depression, and OCD. I also work with parents to strengthen their relationships with their children and develop effective parenting strategies that promote positive behavior. In addition, I help individuals heal from traumatic experiences, navigate grief and loss. My goal is to provide a safe, compassionate, and supportive space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful, lasting change in their lives. Hola, soy Bithia, trabajadora social clínica bilingüe, ubicada en Phoenix. Durante la última década, he apoyado a niños, adolescentes, adultos y familias a enfrentar diversos desafíos de la vida. Mi experiencia clínica incluye ayudar a nuevos padres a manejar los síntomas relacionados con el período perinatal (trastornos del estado de ánimo perinatales), apoyar a los padres a fortalecer la relación con sus hijos y aprender estrategias de crianza más efectivas para mejorar el comportamiento de los niños. Ademas, ayudo a personas en el proceso de sanar experiencias traumáticas, afrontar el duelo y la pérdida. Mi objetivo es crear un espacio seguro, de apoyo y compasión, donde cada persona se sienta escuchada, comprendida y empoderada para lograr cambios significativos y duraderos en sus vida.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. We'll talk about what's on your mind, your history, and your goals for therapy. There are no wrong answers, and no pressure to share anything you're not ready for. Think of it as a conversation, not an interrogation. La primer sesion ofrecera una oportunidad para conocernos. Vamos a platicar lo que te abrume actualmente, tu historia, y tus metas para terapia. No hay respuestas equivocadas, y no hay presion a compartir lo que no estes listo para compartir. Piensa que sera una conversacion y no un interrogatorio.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My work is shaped not only by clinical training, but by lived experience with serious health challenges and the uncertainty they can bring. I understand, in a deeply personal way, how much courage it can take to keep showing up for your life while your body is asking you to carry more than most people can see. Mi trabajo está guiado no solo por mi formación clínica, sino también por mi experiencia personal al enfrentar importantes desafíos de salud y la incertidumbre que estos pueden traer. Entiendo, de una manera muy profunda, el valor y la fortaleza que se necesitan para seguir adelante con la vida cuando tu cuerpo te pide cargar con mucho más de lo que los demás pueden ver.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My ideal clients are individuals who are ready to begin the therapeutic process, gain insight, develop healthy coping skills, and make meaningful changes to improve their overall well-being and quality of life. I especially enjoy working with teens, young adults, and women navigating life's many transitions. Whether you are adjusting to motherhood, healing after a divorce, coping with the emotional and physical changes of menopause, or working through anxiety, depression, grief, or past trauma, I strive to provide a supportive and compassionate space where you can build resilience, strengthen self-confidence, and move toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

My treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
ACT helps you stop struggling with painful thoughts and feelings. Instead of trying to control or eliminate them ACT teaches you to accept them as part of life and to commit to actions aligned to your core values.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT teaches how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are all connected. By changing how you think, you can change how you feel and act.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
DBT aims to help you understand and accept difficult emotions and teaches you skills to manage them. Dialectical means trying to understand how two things that seem opposite can be true. For example, accepting yourself and changing your behavior.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a therapy that helps your brain process memories, experiences, or beliefs that feel "stuck" and continue to cause emotional distress. During EMDR, you don't have to talk in detail about the experience. Instead, bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements, tapping, or alternating sounds) helps your brain naturally reprocess the memory so it becomes less emotionally overwhelming. While the memory remains, the distress connected to it often decreases, allowing you to respond to it in a healthier, more adaptive way.
