Jose Cabrera, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Jose!

I work with adults and couples, specializing in anxiety, stress, trauma, and relational issues. I use Client Centered Therapy, Art Therapy, and Brainspotting to help clients realize their healing potential and start feeling better.

My focus

I typically work with clients dealing with life transitions and present and past trauma. Many of my clients identify as Black or Latino and are used to downplaying or avoiding the tough experiences that come with living in this world as a person of color. I also work with couples having difficulty navigating their relationship.

My approach

My style integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Art Therapy, and Brainspotting. I believe no two people are alike, and I work with clients to find a path that helps us understand what is going on, sometimes going deep into old wounds. I use proven tools of neuroscience to help free the body from stress and trauma we've been holding on to.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, approachable, and empathetic. I strive to create an environment where clients feel at ease discussing anything without feeling judged.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I have gone through my own adversities and understand the journey it takes to heal the deep wounds of the past. I'm ready to help you do the same.

My goals for you

My approach to creating goals is collaborative, focused on defining what we hope to achieve during our time together. I believe building trust is the foundation of feeling comfortable with therapy. As we move forward, we'll set clear goals and track how we're doing.

Our first session

During our first session, we'll spend our time talking about how you've been feeling and exploring the reasons behind those emotions. It's an opportunity for us to build rapport and for me to get a clearer picture of your needs. I focus on listening, rather than jumping to conclusions about the best approach for you.
