Enid Otero Aguilar
Hi I'm Enid! I am licensed professional counselor in the state of GA with many years of experience. I make sure to work with you to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgement. Taking the first step to seek help to achieve a more fulfilling and happier life that fits you takes courage. I am here to support you throughout the process. I have experience helping people that are managing OCD and anxiety, as well as stress management, depression, self-esteem and confidence concerns, and trauma.
En nuestra primera sesión comenzaremos a conocernos y construir nuestra relación de terapeuta y cliente y también discutir qué nos trae a buscar terapia.
También soy bilingüe! Español es mi primer lenguaje y me encanta ayudar a las personas de mi comunidad. Me aseguro de trabajar contigo en crear un ambiente abierto y seguro que puedas compartir tus pensamientos y sentimientos sin miedo a prejuicios. Requiere valor tomar los primeros pasos a buscar ayuda para tener una vida llena y feliz que tú quieres. Yo estoy aquí para ayudarte en ese proceso. Tengo años de experiencia manejando síntomas de TOC, ansiedad, manejo de stress, depresión, autoestima y trauma.
First session
In our first session we will begin by getting to know each other. I do ask questions regarding your mood, support system, your day-to-day and maybe even set some goals for treatment. I will always accept if you are not 100% comfortable sharing everything in our first session, therapy will always be at your pace. I am open to answer any questions about the therapeutic process.
Strengths
While I work with multiple diagnosis I am specialized and have years of experience with the treatment of OCD and all other anxiety disorders. I have been trained in providing Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) the gold standard of the treatment of OCD, which is also used in the treatment of Anxiety disorders a long with the use of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). I also apply the use of CBT with the treatment of depression. I have also years of experience in treating Trauma in children, adolescents and adults.
Ideal clients
I like working with teens, college age students, and adults. A lot of people in these age groups are all managing changes, feeling overwhelmed and need extra guidance. I love it when a client is willing to learn, change and challenge themselves. If you are already searching for a therapist that means you are taking the steps to better yourself and I'm here to help.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
One of the CBT interventions I use the most are thought challenging exercises that will help with automatic thinking patterns and anxious thoughts.
Exposure Response Prevention (ERP)
The gold standard of treating OCD, I also like to use exposure with other anxiety related disorder. We start of small by building a hierarchy of what we are able to manage.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
We are in our mind so much that we forgot to be present. I like to use mindfulness techniques to gain awareness of our present self.
