About me

Imagine that seeking therapy is like planting a seed—a tiny, resilient kernel of hope. As we nurture it together, it takes root, grows, and blossoms into lasting change. My name is Guadalupe Luis, I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) clinician with over 11 years of experience working with adults and couples. I’m here to tend to that seed with you, providing the care and guidance needed for transformation.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

We'll navigate issues at your pace delving into your experiences, and emotions, all while respecting your time. You can expect to leave our sessions with new perspectives, tools, or techniques to help aid you in your journey toward the goals we've collaborated on. My role is to support you achieve long-lasting changes in your personal life, relationships, and overall well-being.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

To me, therapy isn’t a rigid formula—it’s a dynamic dance, enriched by an authentic and transparent bond between client and therapist. Let’s cultivate your well-being, one session at a time.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I specialize in women's issues, depression, anxiety, relationships, veterans and military lifestyle issues, as well as supporting clients through life transitions, and chronic illnesses. I adopt a solution-focused therapeutic model while maintaining a client-centered philosophy.

My treatment methods

Strength-Based

My therapeutic style mixes both a solution and strengths-based approach with coping tools tailored to your unique needs or situation. My goal is to support you in navigating life's challenges by offering practical strategies to manage emotions, enhance relationships, and thrive going forward.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

ACT is grounded in mindfulness, acceptance, and behavior change techniques, and is rooted in the understanding that human suffering often arises from our attempts to avoid or control uncomfortable experiences, which can actually make them worse in the long run.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), my primary goal would be to help clients understand and change the patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to their emotional distress. CBT is based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are all interconnected, and by identifying and modifying negative or distorted thoughts, we can change how we feel and act.

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing (MI) as a client-centered, collaborative approach to help individuals explore and resolve ambivalence about change. MI is particularly effective when clients feel stuck or unsure about making a decision, whether it’s related to behaviors like substance use, health issues, or lifestyle changes. Rather than directing the client toward a specific course of action, MI respects their autonomy, helping them uncover their own motivations and reasons for change.

She made me feel heard and when I talked she would listen completely before responding and that's something I'm not used to so I really value how authentic and genuine she is.

I feel the first time, that my therapist can relate to who I am as a person. I’ve had therapist in the past but Guadalupe really helps me come to realize and become aware of my circumstances. What is within my control and not, and empowers me to walk in my truth and helps me walk with my head up. I look forward in where I’ll go and who I become with Guadalupe as my therapist.

Guadalupe has been wonderful during our sessions. She has given me the space and time to build trust and has been empowering in our conversations. Along with providing a safe space, she has an authentic personality that is supportive and comforting to build a connection with her. I would highly recommend her.
