Philip Urbina

My communication style

I try to create an environment that works for my clients. I am flexible. Some clients want a quiet, calm session, some want to make jokes in difficult situations. I am good with both. I like to go where you want to go. If it's serious, I'm good with that; if it's more relaxed and informal, that's fine as well.

My journey to mental healthcare

I grew up in a poor neighborhood. I saw a lot of people dealing with loss, immigration issues, families being separated, family and friend loss, and the struggles of trying not to get involved in bad habits. Seeing my community go through that and being exposed to so many issues like that got me interested in helping my community.

My goals for you

I like to set a treatment plan goal with the client and discuss what they would like to see as a difference in 1 month and at the end of therapy.

Our first session

A plan of what goals we would like to meet and a discussion of what brought them to therapy. Once that is done, we will discuss what important information from past or current may be contributing to their situation.
