About

Welcome, I'm Dr. Cervantes, Psychologist. I recognize the importance of taking a holistic approach to your wellness. Together, we will identify and achieve your treatment goals. I use a client-centered, strength-based approach to address mood management, healing from trauma, relationship issues, transitions in life, and career stressors/growth. My approach My approach is solution-focused and client-centered. I focus on understanding your perspective in order to develop a plan to suit your needs and goals. You are the expert of your story and I'm here to help enhance the quality of your life. I use techniques such as psychoeducation to prepare you for treatment; mindfulness to help with mind-body connection; active listening to help define your strengths, values, and goals; Trauma-Focused CBT to help eliminate the impact trauma is having on your social/general functioning; ACT techniques to help with mood management; and a combination of techniques to help with grief work, transitions, & career matters. My focus I typically work with individuals and families who are ready to learn new ways of approaching new or chronic challenges in their personal and/or work life. My communication style I work to create a safe environment in which you feel seen, understood, and valued. Emphasis will be given to your unique learning style, goals, and perspective. My journey to mental healthcare I have a passion for helping those struggling with significant challenges in life. This includes mental illness; the relationship they have with themselves, relationships with significant others, and living authentically with those around them. It's been my life's mission to leave others better off than the way I met them. My goals for you I take the necessary time to understand the issues along with what has/has not worked for you in the past. Together, we will establish realistic, achievable goals. Periodically we will re-evaluate the goals to see if changes are needed.
