LMHC, 12 years of experience
Hello, I am Juliana, I am a faithful believer that we all came to this life to enjoy every moment to the fullest. There are situations and conditions that sometimes get out of our hands but it does not mean that you cannot give yourself the opportunity to live your full potential. Many people avoid facing their emotions or situations for fear of being judged or attacked. Today I want to congratulate you for having the courage to seek help as that requires courage. Congratulations on making the decision, thinking of yourself and giving yourself the opportunity to live the life you have always wanted. I have over 10 years of experience working with clients who have dealt with Trauma, Domestic Violence, Grief, Anxiety, Depression and more. I work with people offering assistance in learning to cope with emotional distress, past or present, as well as providing tools to make positive changes.
The first time we meet, I may ask you questions so I can understand what you are struggling with. However, I always remind my clients that they are in control and they are the ones in charge. I won't push you to discuss issues that you are not comfortable discussing; I understand that it takes time to get to know and trust a therapist. You are not alone on this journey.
My goals as a therapist is to collaborate with clients in ways that best fit their values, identity, and needs in an effort to create a therapeutic relationship of trust, mutual respect, and a safe environment for people to share their stories and feel empowered. heard.
I have experience working with adults, adolescents and children. Currently I serve adults.
I use CBT to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns that may be contributing to stress, anxiety, or low mood. Together, we work on developing healthier perspectives and practical coping strategies that empower clients to manage their emotions and behaviors more effectively. My approach with CBT is collaborative and goal-oriented, focusing on creating lasting changes that improve daily functioning and overall well-being.
In my practice, I integrate Positive Psychology to help clients recognize their strengths, cultivate resilience, and build on what is already working well in their lives. Rather than only focusing on difficulties, I encourage clients to explore sources of joy, meaning, and fulfillment. This approach supports clients in developing greater optimism, self-confidence, and satisfaction in both personal and professional areas of life.
I incorporate mindfulness techniques to support clients in becoming more present, grounded, and compassionate toward themselves. Through guided exercises, breathing practices, and mindful awareness, clients learn to reduce stress, regulate emotions, and respond to challenges with greater clarity and calmness. Mindfulness in therapy helps clients break cycles of overthinking and develop a more balanced relationship with their thoughts and feelings.
