Ashley Saucedo, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Ashley!

I care deeply about your experience in therapy to feel safe and comfortable. I have worked with adults and specialize in anxiety, depression, self-identity, and relationship issues, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients process thoughts and feelings.

My focus

I have found that my style and approach work well with adolescents and young adults as they encounter life changes. As we encounter changes that feel uncomfortable, it could lead to feeling stressed, leading to anxiety or depression. It is important to be able to tackle these feelings and begin processing to help elevate mood.

My approach

My approach is catered to the needs of the client. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Trauma work, as there are many times that our past affects our current mindset. I believe that once there is trust in a therapeutic relationship, the processing begins to unravel and the healing begins.

My communication style

My communication style is calm, personable, and accommodating toward clients' needs. I want my client to feel comfortable as they process their feelings, by creating a safe environment for them to do so.

My journey to mental healthcare

What attracted me to becoming a therapist was simply wanting to be there for others in need, even if that meant just listening. I loved the idea of being able to help friends walk through some tough life circumstances, which led me to major in counseling. I love being there for others, encouraging them, and helping them.

My goals for you

My approach is to always build great rapport with my clients to make sure that the therapeutic connection is well-established and is a great fit. My next step is to process and make sure I provide empathy. I then establish their goals and make sure we check in on goals periodically to ensure that the client can reflect on their process.

Our first session

During my first session, clients could expect me to just try to get to know them and establish trust and openness to ensure that they felt comfortable and that we were a great match.
