Ronald Ochoa

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #150910). I am proud of your decision to seek help! During our work together, I will be with you every step. My main theory of choice is Acceptance and Commitment therapy, and I love helping teens, young adults, and adults navigate life transitions. The way I view our potential future therapeutic relation is as follows: We all struggle (including myself), and must climb “mountains” in life. I am not perfect and have not reached the top of my mountain, but I am able to see things on your mountain that you can’t see, and can alert you to potential dangers to help you climb your mountain more successfully.

In therapy, I often utilize a variety of practices depending on your needs that include: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Gottman's Couple theory, Attachment Theory, Mindfulness, and creative writing. I work mostly with depression, anxiety, and trauma. I believe that depression, anxiety, and trauma usually have underlying issues and though our work, we will explore such issues and attempt our hardest to resolve them.

Open minded therapist. A therapist who listens and asks questions to understand more of the issues being presented.
