Hello. My name is Kimberly Cervantes, LMFT. I use a Strength-Based Model approach to counseling and life while giving ideas for managing and changing problems/issues that come up in life. I guide people through the path of healing life's wounds and bring their relationships more joy and satisfaction.
My approach
I combine several theories of counseling in my practice, including "Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy", "Imago Relationship Therapy", "Solution-Focused Therapy", and "Family Systems Therapy".
My focus
I am comfortable working with a wide, unlimited scope of client issues.
My communication style
I use a soft but assertive approach to listen effectively to what the client wants to express while guiding them towards healing and giving suggestions that are proven to create a happier, more satisfying life.
My journey to mental healthcare
I had a challenging relationship with my mother, which impacted my mental health, and my path towards becoming a therapist helped to heal the wounds and gave me a deeper understanding of myself.
My goals for you
Both the client and I create the goals. I make suggestions and help create small steps that help clients feel confident in their ability to grow/change.
My first session with you
I am a good listener and have several ideas on how to heal/address issues.
