Ruben Gutierrez, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Ruben!

I am a Veteran looking to assist others with their own "1000" mile journey.

My focus

I have found that my style and approach work well with individuals who prefer a straightforward, assertive approach.

My approach

I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to assist individuals on their personal journeys.

My communication style

My purpose is to help clients achieve success in their lives with an assertive and straightforward approach.

My journey to mental healthcare

I wanted to assist with preventing Veteran suicides.

My goals for you

My goal is not that of a pastor; I do not want you to keep coming back, but to take what we have learned and continue the journey.

Our first session

First session, salutation, explain boundaries on what stays between us, what is mandated beyond the session/"room". CBT outline (homework), how would I know what behaviors or lack of them would tell me you are better 6 months from now?

I identify as...

Male
Asian, Hispanic or Latinx
Agnostic, Atheist, Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Mormon, Muslim, Non-denominational
