Gladys Amador
As a bilingual Clinical Therapist , I work closely with clients to minimize the long-term effects of complex trauma. I use evidence-based therapies to help empower families, guiding them on their journey to healing and resilience despite the challenges they face. I am deeply passionate about creating a safe and compassionate space where every client feels heard, understood, and supported throughout their healing process.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we'll discuss any current challenges or stressors you may be facing. I'll ask questions to better understand your concerns, and together, we'll start to build a therapeutic connection. Everyone has a unique story, and I'm looking forward to learning more about yours.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
In addition to my clinical work, I’ve had the privilege of providing training and presentations to a wide range of professionals—including law enforcement, medical providers, school staff, and social service agencies—on the importance of trauma-informed care. I take pride in my ability to bridge the gap between education and practice, which allows me to serve as both a resource and an advocate for the community.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My approach to therapy is tailored to each client's unique needs. I primarily use a person-centered, strengths-based approach, focusing on empowering you to build on your existing strengths. Additionally, I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you explore how your thought patterns may influence your emotions and behaviors, offering guidance toward meaningful change in daily life.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I have used solution focused therapy with a variety of clients. This treatment helps clients explore solutions for current stressors. With a collaborative and goal-oriented approach, we focus on building solutions that work for you.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
As a therapist with years of experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I’m dedicated to helping you overcome challenges and create lasting change. I specialize in using CBT to help clients address anxiety, depression, stress, and other emotional difficulties by identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors.
Humanistic
Utilizing a humanistic approach, I am committed to providing a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings, values, and goals. Humanistic therapy is centered around the belief that you have the inherent capacity for growth and self-fulfillment, and my role is to help you tap into that potential in a supportive and empowering way.
