Amalia Marisol Arizpe-Fernandez

My communication style

I establish a secure, accepting environment where you can develop rapport and trust. I acknowledge your background, values, and viewpoints while communicating in a way that is culturally respectful. You can expect a warm, collaborative space as you work toward your goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

Growing up in a tight-knit family, I saw firsthand how a strong support system shapes lives. My own experiences with family challenges fueled my desire to understand family dynamics and help others. I have the privilege of supporting people as they overcome emotional challenges and create stronger bonds.

My goals for you

I emphasize teamwork and work with you to identify realistic, attainable solutions that bring constructive change. I gently encourage you to identify inconsistencies between your goals and behavior. This helps you address sensitive issues with confidence and confront challenging aspects of your life.

Our first session

The initial session allows us to interview one another, talk about your history and current concerns, identify areas of focus, and establish joint goals. We build rapport, discuss session frequency, and establish confidentiality. It's a foundation for our work together.
