Jacqueline Ochoa

My communication style

I have a calm, patient, affirming, and inclusive communication style. I approach every interaction with a trauma-informed lens and draw from existential and humanistic views that center around your needs. I will engage you by exploring your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, demonstrating active listening through body language.

My journey to mental healthcare

I decided to pursue a career in therapy at a very young age. I understood the importance of providing and receiving support early on in my life. Culturally, seeking therapy was taboo. I decided that I wanted to make it my goal in life to navigate and heal my own intersectionalities, advocate for myself and others.

My goals for you

I am a firm believer that you are the captain of your life, and my work is centered around expanding upon your strengths, values, and beliefs. We will collaborate on developing your goals and focus treatment on ensuring these are met. We will constantly check your progress and make necessary adjustments.

Our first session

The first session will be about building a therapeutic connection, exploring major events in your life, and what led you to seek therapy. This will help me gain understanding and allow us to collaborate in identifying your goals for treatment.
