Ivette Cisneros, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Ivette!

I work with adults specializing in anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Using a solution-focused approach, I help clients make progress and become their best version.

My focus

I work with the Hispanic/Latinx community. I am bilingual in Spanish. I often see adults who may be dealing with challenges in life transitions, family dynamics, and struggling with self-esteem and identity losses. This often takes the form of anxiety, depression, stress, and adjustment disorders.

My approach

My approach to therapy varies based on the unique needs of each client. I need to help patients feel comfortable and understood. Understanding my clients' stories, backgrounds, and cultures will help me better serve them.

My communication style

My style is relaxed, friendly, and optimistic. I want you to feel comfortable expressing yourself with no reservations. I ask each client about their communication preferences to understand what works best for them.

My journey to mental healthcare

I decided to become a therapist because mental health issues are taboo in my own Latinx culture. I want to allow each individual to have a place to express themselves with no fear of judgment and be happy. I have always been naturally drawn to listen to others and help them through difficult times.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is about working together to define what you want to accomplish. This starts by building a therapeutic relationship where you feel comfortable sharing challenges. I guide you in setting goals and tracking progress to improve symptoms.

Our first session

During our first session, we'll spend most of it talking about what brought you to therapy. I'll ask questions to better understand why you may be feeling this way. Understanding how your family, culture, job, and background play a role helps me support you better.
