Ronald Ochoa
I was born in Guatemala, and emigrated to the United States at the age of 8 months old. I was raised in Los Angeles, I grew up with two different cultures and languages. I speak Spanish as a second language. As a bicultural and bilingual male, I understand the challenges of navigating life as a Latino male. I want to help you thrive where you are!
First session
There will be lots of patience and curiosity to understand you better.
Strengths
I will provide a handful of skills and techniques to help you handle your mental health journey. I will also be very attentive and ask questions and explored deeply with you.
Ideal clients
The way I view our potential future therapeutic relation is as follows: We all struggle (including myself), and must climb “mountains” in life. I am not perfect and have not reached the top of my mountain, but I am able to see things on your mountain that you can’t see, and can alert you to potential dangers to help you climb your mountain more successfully. In therapy, I often utilize a variety of practices depending on your needs that include: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Gottman's Couple theory, Attachment Theory, Mindfulness, and creative writing.
Treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
My main theory of choice is Acceptance and Commitment therapy, and I love helping teens, young adults, and adults navigate life transitions.
