Alex Urrutia
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, MSW , EMDR
Verified
I have worked in several areas of mental health care and have truly found my purpose and passion in assisting those who struggle with
trauma
and/or addiction. I understand how
trauma
has been locked within the psyche and having an individual feel as though they are stuck within themselves. I understand that addiction was a solution to several problems at the time because it allowed relief but in reality it only masked the underlying issues. My goal for each of my clients is to have them recognize their own strengths and abilities so they may continue or begin to live meaningful lives.

Verified
I'll teach you skills to manage difficult emotions and mental health-related body sensations, like those associated with anxiety, depression and
PTSD
.
Sometimes it can be really challenging to make time for ourselves and for our mental health. For some of us, it's even more difficult when our identities and culture held no space for our feelings or emotions. We may have had to put up with crossed boundaries, invalidated feelings, unrealistic expectations, and conditional love that depended on how much we have accomplished. Those difficult and maybe even traumatic experiences that we, and our families, have lived through may have been written off as "this is just how things are." Although we may want to rest and pause, we instead might begin to feel shame or guilt for doing so.

"In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order.” I truly believe that people are not what happened to them. They are what they choose to become. Therapy is a safe and private space in which you are able to deepen your understanding of your capabilities and choices you can make in life. Through providing positive and feedbacks, I will assist you to acquire a healthy set of coping skills and gain more insight about your psychology. This insight will eventually “unstuck” you from repeating unhealthy behaviors by breaking old patterns and developing new ones.

My work in
trauma
informed therapy care is also combined with Ayurveda Wellness Coaching to help address not only the mind, but the body and the spirit as well.
Being a deaf person, I understand the challenges of finding a therapist who communicates in ASL, as well as, finding comfort that my sessions would be confidential. We all experience
trauma
of some sort from childhood to our present moment. The emotions that comes up in life also affects your physical health and your spirit, which also in turn affects your mood and your mentality. We all deserve to find someone who can help us get through in the moment and to prevail in life as a better person with stronger mentality, emotionally, spiritually and physically.

Collaborative Connections
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT
Verified
A life where you remember what it is like without Anxiety, Depression or
Trauma
as the primary author of your story.
It’s tough when you or your relationship feel broken. I’m here to collaborate with you and figure out how to connect those pieces back together so that you feel stronger. It is natural to start questioning yourself and not feel accepted. You may start getting stressed, feeling frustrated, unhappy, and blame yourself/others because there are needs that do not feel met. There can be nagging worries you may have that are preventing you from living your full life. And if we allow ourselves to dig deeper, you may feel invisible, a burden or that maybe you don't deserve better...
