LMFT, 8 years of experience
Hello, my name is Enrique Botello. Glad you are seeking support. Life is not all about sunshine and rainbows but a good thing that they do exist right. Often, life will confront us with emotional obstacles that will make us feel stuck or that there is no hope. I help people to reach their best version of themselves even when life throws rocks at them. Whether you are feeling stressed, overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or other serious mental health symptoms, there is always hope. The use of evidence-based therapeutic modalities will be a process that will help people at different recovery times. No matter how long the road to the best version of yourself might take you, I will be alongside you. Finally, although not a requirement, I specialize in working with athletes of all ages. Sports create a lot of pressure in and out of the sport. Whether it is keeping grades up during school to continue to play a sport or a professional athlete having personal problems. I am here for you. *To ensure enough time for your appointment, please make the appointment on Saturdays at the start of the hour. For example 9:00 am or 11:00 am. For Thursday evening, it is only scheduled for 6:30 pm.
In our first session we will gather information from your past that might contribute to current issues. Will review expectations of therapy and review your preferred therapeutic style.
I have a strong emphasis on using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy CBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy DBT, Bowenian Family Therapy, Couples Therapy, Play Therapy, Trauma Focused CBT, Solution Focused and Motivational Interviewing. I will also often assign homework assignments and handouts appropriate for those who need them. The assignments are fairly simple so no need to worry about complicated homework.
Although I have worked with all ages I tend to specialize in couples, teens, and young adults. I have extensive experience with trauma physical and sexual, addictive behavior, boundaries issues, self-esteem and depression. The therapeutic relationship with clients has shown to be a big contributing portion of clients' success it said 30% to be exact. I approach therapy with reliability and knowledge and customize it based on your personality while still being my genuine self.
I passionate to work with athletes on working on issues that impair their performance inside and outside their sport. Often sports take a toll on one's mental health and it is important not only to exercise the body but also the mind.
