About

My name is Araceli Vigil and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and also hold my Pupil Personnel Services Credential in School Social Work. I work with individuals who may be struggling with coping with life's many and sometimes unpredictable stressors that can lead to symptoms that can get in the way of life. I believe that journey of healing and growth can be reached in many ways, one of which is through the support of a therapist. My focus areas of practice are depression, anxiety, adjustment to life's changes and stressors & trauma-focused services. My approach I approach working with people in a collaborative way that is transparent and encouraging. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where people feel comfortable with the idea of being vulnerable and working on achieving their goals for emotional well-being. I often will utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Processing Therapy (TF-CPT). My focus I work with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, adjustment to life's changes and stressors & trauma-focused services. My communication style I seek to provide a safe and supportive environment, communicating with transparency. My aim in working with individuals is to be a collaborative partner in their journey to obtain the insight, awareness, and tools needed to improve emotional well-being and quality of life. My journey to mental healthcare I have always been intrigued by people's thoughts and how life stressors can impact those which is what initially led me to psychology. The "ah-ha" moments (moments of sudden insight or discovery) are an aspect of therapy that drives my continued strive to work with people in their path to healing and growth. My goals for you Conversational and collaborative. I aim to gather information from communication with individuals regarding what they want.
