Hello, my name is Yesenia Segovia, with an LCSW based in California. I really value listening, being a warm presence, bringing a sense of calm, understanding where you're coming from, validating your experiences, and empowering you to make changes. Seriously, this is a judgment-free zone! Feeling safe and comfortable in therapy is super important to me. We'll team up and work through whatever you're facing together, and I'm here to support you in reaching your well-being goals. Over the years, I've helped many people just like you find healing and achieve what they're aiming for.
Our therapeutic journey will be centered around your unique goals and what you aspire to achieve through therapy. My role is to provide a relaxed, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where you can authentically express yourself without fear of reprisal. Active listening is a cornerstone of my practice, and I'll offer tailored tools, strategies, and practical exercises to support your growth and progress between our sessions.
My approach centers around fostering a safe and supportive environment where you feel truly heard and understood. I believe in the power of collaborative therapy, where we work hand-in-hand to address your mental health concerns and achieve your desired outcomes. Through active listening and genuine empathy, I will create a space where you feel comfortable sharing your experiences and emotions without fear of judgment. My experience as a therapist has equipped me with the tools and knowledge to guide individuals on their healing journeys. I have witnessed the transformative power of therapy and have helped numerous clients overcome their challenges, develop coping mechanisms, and build resilience. By tailoring my approach to your unique needs and circumstances, I am confident that we can work together to achieve your goals and enhance your overall well-being.
Whatever is troubling you, from relationship issues with your partner, friends, family or co-workers, to stress, and parenting. Or life transitions from starting college, a new career navigating the adult world or feeling the imposter syndrome of “am I even an adult, if I am struggling with so many life things from financial stress, to family, and many other things and feeling stuck.” All these things may feel challenging, impacting your mental health leading to anxiety, depression and increased stress. If this sounds like you, we may be a good fit. Reach out to me and let’s get started.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy has been a part of my practice for a long time, and it's been incredibly helpful for many people dealing with various challenges. Essentially, it explores the connection between our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By understanding this, we can identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns, essentially retraining our minds. CBT equips you with practical strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and low spirits, promoting lasting well-being. It's a reliable technique that provides a straightforward path to positive change and improved mental health.
A strength-based approach concentrates on your positive attributes and inherent abilities, rather than your shortcomings. By identifying and building upon these strengths, we can work through your unique challenges and situations. This process fosters self-worth and trust, which are essential for personal growth. While this may sound simple, implementing these changes takes time and dedication.
Many clients are eager to find solutions and feel empowered. During our sessions, we will collaborate to identify potential solutions that you can implement outside of therapy. This approach fosters self-trust and independence.
