John Paul Cabrera
Hello. My name is John Paul and I have been a therapist for approximately eight years. I am a Latino male and I grew up in Los Angeles County. I believe in the power of therapy. I was once sad, angry and resentful as a young man and therapy was for me, a life chaning experience.
Also, from my experience in the field, being a male Latino therapist makes me somewhat different as well.
I enjoy helping others in their journies to living happier and healthier lives.
First session
Getting to know each client and what they are looking for in therapy is what clients can expect from me. I am non judgemental, understanding, caring, and will try my best to help clients feel comfortable and open to therapy. It is not easy to meet a stranger and share your life openly and I praise anyone who has the courage to get into therapy.
Strengths
Understanding and personal experiences with mental illness. I grew up with mental illness in my family so I believe that makes me unique in my personal experiences with a family member who was mentally ill and learning how to deal and cope with. Also, from my experience in the field, being a male Latino therapist makes me somewhat different as well.
Ideal clients
I have worked with a variety of clients and I am open to various cultures and ethnicities. I believe I work best with Latinos and/or multiethnic clients.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Use psychoeducation to learn relationship between thoughts or cognitions and feelings. Assist clients with learning healthy ways to deal with intrusive negative automatic thoughts. Guiding clients on how their strengths can be used to feel better mentally and physically.
Humanistic
Assist clients in finding the positive and good in them. Use positive and caring strategies and validation of each persons path in life. Accepting clients for who they are and the positive in them no matter where they are from; ones past does not define who they are as people.
