Angeline Guzman-Acuna
"Nothing Changes if nothing Changes". I have been practicing for around 5 years within a multitude of settings including both outpatient and intensive care treatment facilities. I have had the privilege and opportunity to work with clients of different backgrounds and really take the time to understand and support them dependent on needs.
I am a firm believer that I am the guide and tool needed to find your way out of the darkness.

First session
Within the first session, you can expect to gain a mutual understanding of what are the agreed upon goals and establish a formal understanding of what is to come within meeting.
Strengths
The biggest strength as a provider is my empathetic attunement- having the perfect balance of having the ability to actively listen, emotional intelligence, having a nonjudgmental stance, and regulating my own emotions to create a safe space for the client.
Ideal clients
I best describe myself as a chameleon of sorts- ready to mold myself into the therapist needed to meet your current needs.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize the CBT framework within my practice to assist in identifying negative cognitive distortions, potential triggers, and stressors in efforts to create and establish an effective treatment plan tailored to the client's needs.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I utilize CBT, DBT, Acceptance and Commitment Treatment (ACT), and Mindfulness frameworks within my practice to assist in identifying negative cognitive distortions, potential triggers and stressors in efforts to create and establish an effective treatment plan tailored to the client's needs and agreed-upon goals.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Clients are provided a safe space and offered empathy and continued support to bring their full selves in exploring their realities and strengthening healthy coping mechanisms to improve overall quality of life.
