I am Graciela Aguilar, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in California. My heritage is rooted in Mexico City, I was raised in Orange County, California. With 14 years of experience, I assist children, adults, and families offering virtual therapy for anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I am dedicated to creating a safe and supportive environment that helps you challenge the negative core beliefs contributing to dissatisfaction. Believing in the right to joy, together we will uncover the skills and strategies that work best for you.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

When we meet in our first therapy session, expect a warm welcome, brief introductions, and disclosures about legal limits of confidentiality. Then we'll focus on, "What brings you to therapy today". After gathering the information related to the presenting symptoms, together we will develop an individualized treatment plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. This is your time to unpack what you are ready to work through.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I've developed strong skills in creating a safe space to validate and support clients in their journey. I focus on being an ally in providing the best quality of care by utilizing ongoing assessment and evidence-based practice modalities. I enjoy being a witness of transformation when clients demonstrate progress toward meeting therapy goals.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

Therapy can be a challenging process that may seem confusing, overwhelming, confrontational, and even intimidating. Yet, despite these challenges, my clients show openness and place significant value on their journey toward healing.
