Mayra Samano
As a human being myself, I understand the importance of taking care of our mental health. I believe we should take care of our emotional health just as we do our physical health. I am here to help those who prioritize their mental health and relationships. I've worked in a variety of settings including county mental health and private practice with all ages.
First session
My hope is that after the first session, you have an idea of what you want to work on moving further. The first few sessions are dedicated to establish rapport and see if we're a good therapeutic fit. As we move further, we will get deeper into your symptoms and behaviors.
Strengths
I like a mixture of sitting quietly AND pushing back to goal discrepancies.
Ideal clients
I've you're struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, or just life I am here to help! I work non-biasedly with clients who want to discover evidenced based skills while being open to pushback and deeper exploration into symptoms and behaviors. I also help clients identify their goals and redirect if they're unsure if therapy is right for them. I help develop short term and long-term goals.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
We will explore and challenge negative thinking patterns that contribute to your current symptoms.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I like to use mindfulness to help you accept difficult emotions without judging or pushing them away.
