My name is Maricella Campuzano and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the metro area of Los Angeles. I am a trauma-focused therapist who specializes in the treatment of adolescents and adults, specifically those in at-risk populations.
My approach
It is my belief that therapy is more effective when it is well-aligned with each client's individual treatment needs. Thus, I utilize in an eclectic approach to therapy in which I combine different methods such as CBT, DBT, TF-CBT, client-centered therapy, object-relations, and attachment theories to provide the most effective treatment to meet you where you are!
My focus
I have over a decade of experience treating adolescents, adults, and families in underserved populations, specifically at-risk youth. I also have extensive experience working with adolescents on probation, recently incarcerated, or transitioning back into the community. My expertise further lies with those who struggle with PTSD, C-PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, and other mood disorders.
My communication style
In working with me you will find a warm, welcoming, and nonjudgemental space to be yourself. I believe in being down to earth and approachable in order to build trust and good alliances with those I treat. Without this, therapy cannot be effective.
My journey to mental healthcare
As someone who has struggled with depression since adolescence, I have always had a desire to help give others the sense of support that I never had. I strive to show up for my clients the way I wish someone had shown up for me. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, and I want to be able to show it to you!
My goals for you
I utilize a collaborative approach in developing treatment goals. I want you to feel empowered in your own treatment by being able to identify what you want to work on, along with my professional guidance. I believe this also fosters increased motivation and trust.
My first session with you
I want to get to know more about you. I will help guide you through identifying your symptoms and exploring what you are looking for out of treatment. I simply ask questions and let you do the talking. Nobody knows your story better than you!
