Keren Cabrera
Welcome! I truly believe that we can all feel better. Safer in this world, stronger within ourselves, connected to ourselves and others. As a licensed MFT in CA, I am most helpful working with folks feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, fearful and uncertain. Those wanting help w emotional self-regulation, emotional connection to self and others. Those struggling with substance challenges as a way to regulate and/or get needs met. Those feeling unlovable, flawed and unworthy. Negative inner voices, rumination, distorted thoughts. My style is interactive, sensitive and direct. Let's clarify what's happening for you and why, let's create a plan with sustainable steps. This is a collaboration and no one knows you better than you! Please take the time to read my specializations/profile. Let's talk! Thank you.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I truly believe that we can all live with more "ease" in our life vs. dis-ease. In a first session, I strive to foster connection, to create a safe, warm and honest environment. The client-therapist relationship/fit really matters. I talk about the therapeutic process, what the work might look like and entail. I ask questions to understand and shape treatment. There is a plan in place. I am curious about each person's inner world, hopes, dreams, areas of confusion/challenge and goals. I seek to clarify. We can accomplish so much more when we feel clear. When we understand. When we have a combination of deep therapeutic conversation, support, new skills and concrete baby steps. My style is interactive, sensitive and direct. This a collaboration. We are a team.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Personal warmth and empathy, the ability to listen and identify what clients may not be aware of, to raise awareness around patterns of behaviors, distorted thinking that have impact. To identify concrete steps that reduce symptoms of overwhelm, anxiety, negative thought loops, to facilitate emotional regulation, to improve interpersonal communication skills and create feelings of ease.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Integrative
Integrative therapy refers to customized treatment. Pulling from different treatment models to focus on the most helpful. For example: Psychodynamic therapy explores early childhood experiences and how those experiences relate to our current patterns - be they emotional, behavioral, and/or physical. CBT focuses on how we think and how our thoughts impact how we feel and what we believe. CBT develops skills and tools to promote positive behavioral changes and reframe negative thoughts. Solution focused is for short-term concerns. In general I like to combine "awareness/insight" and the "why" with concrete steps and goals for change.
Attachment-based
I work with attachment in mind which thinks about early childhood experience and development. How we bond. How our bonding/attachment style connects us to others in a healthy or unhealthy way. This impacts adult neurobiology, behaviors, patterns, emotional regulation, coping styles, addictions, and some traumas.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Clarifies and supports all of the "different parts" inside of us to work together in a way where we can thrive and move forward rather than stay stuck. For example, how to manage our fearful, protective, anxious parts so that our other parts i.e. creativity, positivity, risk/growth can come forward.
