Juan - LPC

I am a licensed therapist in the state of Pennsylvania with five years of experience in treating families and individuals who are navigating life stressors, anxiety, depression, and dealing with diagnoses such as Bi-polar disorder, DMDD, and ADHD.

I believe that the past informs the present in ways we don’t often see. Impacting the way we view ourselves and the world around us. I use a CBT framework when engaging my clients in treatment, finding ways for them to identify their goals by developing realistic expectations when challenging the way they view themselves and the world; while also encouraging clients to better understand how their emotions and thoughts impact the present using mindfulness techniques found in both DBT and ACT frameworks.

I work to provide a warm space where clients are encouraged to say the wrong thing and work to clarify what they mean in the moment. For a client to thrive, I believe that feeling safe when sitting in the uncomfortable moments is a need; but also, it is equally important to feel secure in the therapeutic relationship to be challenged to view their mental health stressors in a different-more realistic-manner.
Whether you desire to challenge those uncomfortable thoughts that pop out of nowhere, or dig deeper into understanding how your past impacts your present, feel free to reach out. I offer an over the phone consultation, and am more than willing to explain the therapeutic process with you.
