Agueda Cabrera, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Agueda!

I am a bilingual therapist who has worked with individuals and families to help overcome symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress management, PTSD, and family problems.

My focus

I typically work with teenagers, young adults, and adults presenting with a variety of symptoms including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, ADHD, unresolved grief, and family problems.

My approach

I utilize a strength-based approach as well as evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I offer warm and compassionate support and guidance to help clients focus on their strengths rather than their flaws, allowing for growth during treatment. I assist clients with identifying and reframing negative thoughts.

My communication style

My communication style is calm and supportive, with a focus on the client's strengths. I am also very aware of cultural issues.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was always interested in helping people who struggle with mental health issues and family problems. I feel useful when I notice my client's progress and increased ability to overcome their symptoms and improve their level of functioning.

My goals for you

I typically invite clients to identify long-term goals and to develop short-term small, attainable, and realistic goals. I periodically review progress toward goals during treatment with clients to update or modify their needs as the treatment progresses.

Our first session

During the first session, I typically gather information to complete a comprehensive clinical assessment and to identify client's needs and expectations from treatment. I also prompt clients to identify long and short-term treatment goals.
