Sergio Gueller, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Sergio!

I provide multicultural mental health services with a focus on achieving inner peace and joy through cognitive behavioral techniques and psychoanalysis for individuals of all ages. I am here to provide you with sound therapeutic tools to achieve your wellness goals.

My focus

I have had the chance to work with a wide array of individuals, families, and groups regardless of their ethnic background, belief systems, or religious and spiritual choices. I feel comfortable and confident working with all individuals, as it is my belief that the human experience through this amazing path, which is life, is actually universal.

My approach

I utilize cognitive behavioral techniques, including instruments to record daily therapeutic activities and gradual progress toward your goals, which we will clearly formulate together during the treatment plan creation phase of our work in sessions.

My communication style

My communication style is quite direct. However, I utilize active listening throughout most of my sessions to allow people to ventilate their repressed and anxious thoughts and feelings. I utilize my voice in a therapeutic manner, tuning my personal vibrational frequency to my clients in order to provide relaxation and comfort during sessions.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey as a therapist started early in life, learning this trade and experiencing providing healing. A significant amount of my motivation comes from the universal need to examine my own traumas, particularly in reference to my interactions with my own parents, siblings, family members, and significant others throughout my journey in this life.

My goals for you

All goal settings in my practice are openly discussed, formulated, and negotiated with clients. I find that engaging clients in the therapeutic treatment formulation is an essential part of the process of therapy itself.

Our first session

Usually, the first session revolves around getting to know your circumstances and needs, as well as self-disclosure to explain who I am professionally and therapeutically. At times, this process may be adjusted to allow you to ventilate feelings, especially if critical and part of a current crisis.
