About me

Buen dia, mi nombre es Adriana Aguilar, terapeuta bilingüe basada en Los Angeles. My experience is with working with clients that are moving through life-transitions, processing trauma, as well as managing symptoms of depression and anxiety. I am a psychodynamic therapist that uses reflective practice to support awareness building for clients. Reflective practice will allow you to go at your own speed in processing traumas. Clients can expect to discuss their childhood relationships, as well as learn about brain functioning that informs our behavior patterns. I have extensive experience with trauma treatment, anxiety, depression, and attachment trauma. I also have extensive experience working with 0-5 year olds, parents and adolescence.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

After our first session, you will get a better understanding of my approach as well as if we would be a good working team. As we continue to work together, you’ll notice yourself being able to use emotional language to process life stressors.

The treatment methods and tools I utilize

I use trauma informed practices such as Mindfulness, and Community Resiliency Model (CRM), to support you in developing coping skills to manage symptoms like depression and anxiety. I also use a psychodynamic approach to discuss problems “at their root.” And work in treatment to undo “root rot” that inhibits your growth in the present.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I feel my biggest strengths are in working with clients that are looking to do trauma processing. If you are open to practicing mindfulness, and exploring your childhood relationships that inform your world view today, we would make a good working team.

Amazing! I have never had a therapist that I have connected with as much as Adriana. She has helped me grow and improve and I could not be more grateful to have been matched with her.

Working with Adriana has truly been so healing. In every session I felt deeply heard, respected and validated. I have grown so much and her words continue to resonate with me even after our session.
