Gustavo Lozano
I’m a Licensed Psychotherapist who works with adults and young professionals navigating anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. My approach is warm, practical, and collaborative.
Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, or patterns that keep holding you back, therapy offers a space to explore what’s going on—without judgment.
I create a space where you can be yourself, speak openly without judgment, and work toward meaningful changes that feel realistic for your life.
First session
In the first session, you can expect a warm welcome as we begin with introductions and get to know each other. We'll explore your reasons for seeking therapy and discuss the specific areas you'd like to address. Together, we'll determine if I'm the right fit for you as a therapist and if the topics you want to work on align with my areas of expertise. It's an opportunity for us to establish rapport and create a roadmap for your therapeutic journey.
Strengths
I bring warmth, curiosity, and a down-to-earth approach to my sessions. I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable being yourself, so I focus on building genuine connection and trust. I’m engaged and collaborative, helping you recognize patterns, explore new perspectives, and develop tools you can use in your everyday life.
Ideal clients
I find great satisfaction in collaborating with individuals who prioritize their mental health and demonstrate a commitment to personal growth. I appreciate clients who are proactive and eager to engage in the therapeutic process, utilizing the skills and tools provided to navigate their challenges effectively. Moreover, I particularly enjoy working with clients who are open to introspection, as this willingness to explore their inner world often leads to profound insights and transformative experiences.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my practice, I employ cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as a powerful tool for addressing various mental health challenges. With a focus on anxiety, depression, and substance use disorders, I assist individuals in identifying and challenging their negative thought patterns. Through structured sessions, I guide clients in recognizing the connections between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, empowering them to develop healthier coping strategies and achieve lasting change. CBT serves as a cornerstone in my approach, fostering resilience and promoting psychological well-being.
Grief Therapy
In my work with grief therapy, I provide a supportive environment where individuals can navigate the complex journey of mourning. By offering compassionate guidance, I help clients comprehend the stages of grief and validate their emotions throughout the process. Through open dialogue and reflective exercises, I hold space for them to honor their unique experiences of loss, fostering healing and resilience as they navigate their grief journey.
Motivational Interviewing
Incorporating motivational interviewing into my therapeutic approach, I facilitate a collaborative process where individuals explore their intrinsic and extrinsic motivations for change. By guiding clients to uncover their own solutions and goals, I empower them to tap into their innate strengths and aspirations. Through empathetic listening and evocative questioning, I support clients in harnessing their motivation to enact positive transformations in their lives
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
In solution-focused brief treatment, I assist clients in navigating their current challenges by focusing on their existing strengths and resources. Through targeted questioning and goal-oriented dialogue, I guide individuals in identifying practical solutions to their immediate issues. By empowering clients to leverage their skills and capacities, I help them enact meaningful change and achieve tangible results in the here and now.
Psychodynamic
In therapy, I apply psychodynamic theory to help individuals recognize how their past experiences influence their present behaviors. By delving into their personal history, we uncover subconscious patterns that impact their current actions, creating self-awareness and facilitating meaningful insights for growth.
