My name is Christian J. Portillo, and I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California. With over 7 years of experience in schools, community mental health, private practice, and telehealth, I work with individuals aged 18 to 40. I specialize in men’s issues and life transitions, such as college and parenthood, and in treating work-related stress and anxiety.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we will discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and explore the current circumstances that are most concerning to you.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a Latino male, I know first-hand how difficult it can be to ask for help, especially about our mental health. My personal experience in therapy deepened my understanding of myself, my values, and how to communicate my needs. My goal is to simplify and uncomplicate mental health, helping clients build self-trust, confidently express their needs, and establish healthy boundaries.

Person-centered (Rogerian)
Person-centered therapy, also known as client-centered therapy, offers a supportive environment where individuals can enhance their self-awareness and discover their own solutions. By fostering a non-judgmental space, this approach empowers clients to take charge of their mental well-being and facilitates their pursuit of meaningful, positive changes in their lives. The benefits of person-centered therapy include heightened self-awareness, improved communication skills, a greater ability to express thoughts and feelings, and the capacity to move beyond past hurts or mistakes.
Psychoeducation
Psychoeducation is a crucial aspect of treatment, as it equips clients with accurate information, resources, and skills related to their specific mental health diagnosis or condition. By empowering individuals to make informed decisions about their care, psychoeducation aims to reduce stigma, enhance treatment outcomes, build resilience, and strengthen support networks.
