Cristal Aguilar

My name is Cristal Aguilar (she/her). I am an Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I graduated with my B.A. in Psychology from California State University of Northridge, in 2015. I earned my M.A. in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy at Pepperdine University, 2019. Currently, I am registered with the Board of Behavioral Services as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. Stress, trauma and anxiety are remarkably good at making us forget our strengths that we have. It can be hard to get unstuck and to see the path in front of us all on our own.

As a therapist, I plan to partner with my clients to identify what will work best for them with the goal of making them feel better. I work to help people feel comfortable and create a collaborative and judgment-free environment. Therapy is not a one size fits all model. I tailor my approach based on the client’s unique needs, my approach is both empathic and direct.

I encourage clients to explore vulnerability in safe spaces. I collaborated with my clients to set goals and establish postive outcomes to manage or reduce symptoms.
