Hi! I am Alejandra Escobedo and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I support teens and adults who have experienced trauma, are navigating life transitions (immigration, breakups, starting college), or who struggle with anxiety find their way and heal. The majority of my experience is in working with individuals with significant life stressors. I use different methods such as EMDR and CBT to address client's goals.

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

When we first meet, you will tell me about your history, life experiences, strengths, weaknesses, amongst other important details about you. In our next few sessions, we will discuss your goals for therapy and what the plan for therapy will look like.

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

I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship. Here, you will be in a non-judgmental zone where you can truly be yourself and unpack all that you've been carrying with you. I will be here to listen to your feelings, challenge your unhelpful thoughts, and guide you towards change.

My treatment methods

EMDR

I am a EMDRIA approved EMDR therapist. EMDE uses bilateral stimulation and uses less talk therapy than other methods. I utilize EMDR with individuals who have experienced trauma, anxiety, low-self esteem, and more.

Motivational Interviewing

I use motivational interviewing with clients who have depression, low-self esteem and more.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Suicide Prevention (CBT-SP)

I use cognitive behavior therapy to address the inner critic in the mind, change thinking patterns, decrease unhelpful behaviors, and improve overall well being.
