Hello, my name is Berenice. I have over a decade of experience working in the mental health field. Six of those years were spent in clinical counseling after earning my master’s degree from National University. My primary focus has been on working with non-profit organizations that serve underserved communities. I have worked with children, youth, teens, TAY (transgender and non-binary youth), adults, and older adults who have moderate to severe mental health concerns.
I firmly believe that it’s crucial to prioritize your needs. In my opinion, the most effective work is achieved by taking the necessary steps, which is precisely why you’re here. I collaborate with you throughout your journey, enabling you to take the lead while you navigate through the challenges. My primary approach involves Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) interventions, Solution-Focused Approaches, Holistic care, and Acceptance Therapy.
Therapy can be challenging, so I’ll work hard to build your trust in this therapeutic relationship. I’ll gently challenge you and encourage you to consider alternative solutions, helping you make informed decisions.
