Hi there! I'm Beatriz and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in California working with clients statewide via Telehealth. I’m a Latina bilingual Spanish speaking therapist with many years of mental health experience. My passion is to connect with people in a way that makes them feel seen and heard. I'd describe my therapeutic interaction as casual and informal. I take a holistic approach to therapy. I believe that every client needs something different and I work to provide that along the way. I have specialized training related to trauma (Trauma Focused CBT), early childhood mental health (Child Parent Psychotherapy), and a certification in maternal/perinatal mental health (PMH-C).
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During the first session, I want to learn about you! I will be asking questions about what is bringing you into therapy, what have been your recent struggles with your mental health, questions surrounding your history and what are your expectations for treatment. I want to learn about your history so that I know your story and how to best support you moving forward.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am passionate about empowering clients and working together to build a safe, trusting, and empathetic environment. My hope is that each client that I work with feels understood, validated and supported throughout their therapeutic journey.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is an approach that examines how thoughts, feelings, and behavior influence each other. I incorporate a Cognitive Behavioral lens to help gain a deeper insight and learn strategies to better manage emotions, thoughts, and behaviors that interfere with overall functioning and well-being.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
ACT therapy works by focusing on accepting life experiences as they come, without evaluating or trying to change them. In our sessions, we will work together to build skills that include mindfulness, and develop a compassionate relationship with difficult experiences.
Trauma-Focused CBT
As a therapist, I have specialization in Trauma-Focused CBT. The goals of TF-CBT are to help you learn skills to cope with trauma, face and resolve trauma, as well as effectively integrate the traumatic experiences and progress through life in a safe and positive manner.
Strength-Based
Strength-based therapy is a type of positive therapy that focuses on your internal strengths and resourcefulness, rather than on your weaknesses, failures, and shortcomings. As a therapist, I believe that it is important to discuss and discover your inner strengths in order to build solutions for the given problems.
On average, United Medical Resources clients pay $0-$86
