Ciro Dufrayer

Aloha, I’m Ciro! 👋

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who works with teens, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, stress, anger, self-esteem struggles, emotional overwhelm, communication difficulties, life transitions, and the effects of past experiences or childhood trauma. I understand that starting therapy can sometimes feel uncomfortable, especially when you’ve been carrying things on your own for a long time. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable being yourself, understood without judgment, and supported as you work toward meaningful growth and lasting change.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to your individual needs. I draw from evidence-based approaches including CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and person-centered therapy to help clients better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behavioral patterns. I believe therapy is not one-size-fits-all, so together we’ll explore what may be keeping you stuck, strengthen coping skills, and develop practical tools that help you feel more confident, emotionally grounded, and in control of your life.

During our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know you, what brought you to therapy, and what you hope to gain from the process. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out or share everything all at once. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, heard, and supported while beginning to identify practical next steps toward meaningful growth, whether that means improving communication skills, managing stress more effectively, building healthier coping strategies, strengthening self-esteem, improving emotional regulation, or developing a stronger sense of confidence and direction in your life. I understand how important it is to find the right therapist, and I invite you to book a free consultation with me to see if we’re a good fit.
