Amparo Pacheco, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Amparo!

I work with diverse populations, including children and families, individuals navigating life transitions, people with severe mental illness and developmental disabilities, and women seeking wellness support.

My focus

I support patients across the lifespan with concerns including ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, trauma, grief, relationship issues, parenting challenges, career counseling, and women's issues.

My approach

I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Family Systems, Mindfulness-Based interventions, and Trauma-Focused techniques. I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each individual, couple, or family I work with.

My communication style

I create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can openly express your thoughts and feelings. Through active listening, empathy, and collaborative dialogue, we work together to gain insights, build coping skills, and create positive changes.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to mental healthcare began with a deep desire to help others navigate life's challenges and reach their full potential. I have been privileged to work with diverse populations in various settings, continuously learning and growing as a therapist.

My goals for you

My goal is to empower you to lead a more fulfilling, balanced life. Together, we identify your unique strengths, develop effective coping strategies, and build resilience. I am committed to supporting you every step of the way.

Our first session

We will discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and explore your goals. I will gather information about your background, experiences, and current concerns. This is also an opportunity for you to ask questions, get a sense of my style, and determine if we are a good fit.
