I help adults manage stress, anxiety, and relationship challenges so they can feel more grounded, confident, and connected in daily life. I welcome clients of all backgrounds, and I also create dedicated space for men who want to explore questions of masculinity, culture, and identity in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment. My style is warm, structured, and down-to-earth. You don’t need to come in with the perfect words or a clear plan—just showing up is enough. Together, we’ll figure out what’s most important right now and build practical tools that bring steadiness and momentum into your daily life. I primarily draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)—approaches that are practical and action-oriented. For clients interested in going deeper, I also integrate evidence-based methods that support long-term self-exploration and healing.

My dream client is a high-functioning woman who appears to be managing it all—but inside, she’s carrying the weight of anxiety, pressure, and deep emotional overwhelm. She might be navigating a major life transition like divorce, a career pivot, motherhood, fertility challenges, or menopause. She may be successful on paper yet struggling to maintain boundaries, meet others’ expectations, or feel truly connected to herself. She could be facing workplace discrimination, identity shifts, or silently asking, “When is it my turn to exhale?” I work best with women who are insightful, motivated for change, and ready to explore the roots of their stress—not just cope, but understand. Using an integrative blend of CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and psychodynamic therapy, I offer a collaborative, empowering space where clients can slow down, reflect, and build tools for realignment—emotionally, mentally, and authentically.

My approach is solution focused. I am not primarily concerned with how or why your present challenge developed but will focus instead on helping you to find a way forward. I hope to elicit and reinforce your positive attributes and competencies and help you access your inner strength. Your ability to change or improve your situation depends on your desire to do so and my job is to awaken that desire within you. The biggest challenge all of us face is negative thinking. This is a reflection of our own disappointment of what we see when we look inside ourselves. By improving our self-image through accentuating our positive qualities we begin to see the world in a more positive light. A sure way of feeling better about ourselves is to find something good in every other human being. Note: I do not write letters or fill out forms regarding disability due to behavioral health issues.

Im a Bilingual English/Spanish-speaking therapist with a Marriage and Family License, with 18 years of clinical experience, 14 years licensed and in private practice. I consider myself to be bicultural. Having been raised as a first-generation American in a Latin family, I can identify with the mentality of someone living within two "worlds". Transitioning from one culture to another with seemingly different values, beliefs and language. I can easily understand the struggle that maintaining, and existing in both, can sometimes be. I've come to perceive and appreciate it as the gift of having a "bridge" that allows connection to, and understanding of, different aspects of people and life. My education has a foundation in Clinical Psychology, woven with holistic transpersonal themes, the connection between mind, body, and spirit, and just plain down-to-earth common sense. Always keeping in mind the client's personal beliefs and values.

My role as your therapist is to help you recognize those strengths, clarify what truly matters to you, and guide you in developing the tools and strategies you need to move forward with confidence. In our sessions, we’ll collaborate to identify your goals and create practical, actionable solutions tailored to your specific needs — whether you’re navigating stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, or simply seeking a greater sense of balance and fulfillment. Together, we’ll focus on uncovering what’s working, building on your resilience, and creating a roadmap for positive change. My therapeutic approach is rooted in solution-focused therapy and positive psychology, integrating a strengths-based perspective to help you gain insight, reframe unhelpful patterns, and develop a mindset that supports growth and well-being. I also draw on evidence-based techniques from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) when helpful, allowing us to challenge limiting beliefs and replace them with more empowering thoughts and behaviors. My aim is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental, and encouraging environment where you feel truly understood, motivated, and ready to take charge of your life. I see therapy as a collaborative process — one where we work side by side to help you create meaningful, lasting change. If you’re ready to take the next step, let’s work together to unlock your potential and build a life that feels purposeful, balanced, and fulfilling.

Hola! I'm Gustavo Olvera and I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist (LMFT), serving clients via telehealth throughout the State of California. My long-time approach to therapy is to meet the client where they are and work with them to identify goals that will help them improve their quality of life while providing them with a safe place to be themselves in a safe environment. I believe that we all have the potential to succeed in life and the potential to achieve greatness. A healthy mind is key to success, as we often have to make critical decisions daily. I believe we can all achieve our desired goals by increasing and maintaining a positive outlook on our mental health. What attracted me to wanting to become a therapist was my true and honest desire to help others. Seeing how clients benefit from therapy, seeing how clients can truly overcome their mental illness, and seeing how clients can return to normal and healthy day-to-day living is what drives me to continue to do the work that I do. Today I invite you, to allow yourself to start your journey to a better tomorrow; I am inviting you to take a chance. Sadly we can't change what happened yesterday, nor do we know what will happen tomorrow, but we can hope for a better tomorrow by making positive decisions today.
