I'm Alberto, a licensed counselor who believes the most powerful thing I can offer is to truly see you. I listen without judgment, encourage you steadily, and help you recognize the thought patterns that may be getting in your way. Whether you're navigating anxiety, grief, addiction, anger, or simply want to understand yourself better, I would be glad to work alongside you.
My approach is direct and grounded. I set aside my own perspective to focus entirely on yours, helping you recognize the thought patterns and distortions that may be holding you back, so those 'aha moments' can happen naturally. I will support you, and I will also challenge you, because I believe honest, collaborative work is where real change happens.
In our first session, I'll ask what brought you here, what you hope counseling looks like, and what you'd like to accomplish. You won't be rushed or put on the spot. My goal is for you to leave that first hour feeling heard, with a clearer sense of the path head and genuine confidence that this is a safe place to do the work.
