Stephanie Astudillo

I am an empathetic bilingual licensed mental health counselor with 6 plus years of experience in the field. I have experience with a variety of different issues, such as depression, anxiety, substance/alcohol abuse, trauma, life transitions, culture-related issues and inter-personal relationship issues. I am fluent in both English and Spanish. I am a child of immigrant parents and can offer an understanding and compassionate approach in navigating society as an ethnic minority.

My clients should know that I take the time to really listen and understand someone's point of view alongside providing feedback. I use a combination of modalities and techniques when working with clients, however I tend to focus more on a person centered and strengths-based approach. I am also known to assign homework.

Clients have shared that this has helped with putting into practice day by day what we are working on during our sessions. Clients can expect to learn new strategies to cope with everyday issues. I want my clients to leave the session feeling seen and heard in a safe space.
