Josue Quirarte, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Josue!

My goal is to help you develop awareness of your thoughts and emotions. Awareness helps us recognize that our emotions are not something to fear, but rather a natural part of everyday life. Whether you are experiencing anxiety or depression, becoming more aware can help you connect with your emotions and grow confidence and self-understanding.

My focus

My approach with everyone is client centered as you are the expert in your own life. Together we will work on growth and acceptance. We will develop healthy coping skills to live empowered lives while also developing awareness.

My approach

My approach is trauma and strength-based care, that focuses on allowing a collaborative approach within the therapeutic setting. My goal is to guide individuals through recovery and reach their personal goals.

My communication style

I believe in clear and effective communication and what better way to practice this skill than in therapy. My approach is calm and soft but direct. This can sound intimidating however I believe empathy is an important aspect in therapy. Communication should be used to develop growth and healthy boundaries.

My journey to mental healthcare

I believe recovery happens when people reconnect with their strengths and acknowledge their resilience. My work centers on empowering people and reconnecting them to the person they are.

My goals for you

I see therapy as a collaboration. My job is to equip you with skills and awareness to help you achieve your goals

Our first session

Our first session would consist of getting to know on another. A big part of therapy is trusting your therapist, this is why I focus on building a therapeutic alliance. We will also identify goals and expectations we both will have for one another.
