Taina Aceves, LMFT #116485
Hello!
I would like to welcome you to my website. Thank you for visiting my virtual practice and for your interest in learning more about it. I understand how important it is to have a counseling therapy provider you feel comfortable with, so I would like to share a little about myself with you.
I was born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico and was raised in Southern California. Fortunately, I visit Mexico often and have had the opportunity to be immersed in both the American and Mexican cultures. I am also fully bilingual in English and Spanish. I entered this field because I believe that the supportive relationships in our lives have a significant, positive impact on how we overcome difficulty and thrive on the other side of it.
My role as a therapist consists of providing support for my clients when they are struggling to find it elsewhere. Most of my work has been with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression and trauma. I have experience providing services for clients of all age ranges, but feel my services are most appropriate for adults. I have also been fortunate to have worked with two wonderful non-profit agencies offering services to survivors of domestic violence, and have extensive experience providing therapy geared towards survivors.
I provide my services in both English and Spanish, because being able to communicate in your language during therapy is important for clear communication, making progress and developing a therapeutic relationship. I value the importance of being a culturally aware and sensitive provider, and realize this is a lifelong learning experience, for all of us.
Finally, I would like to emphasize that in my practice, all are welcomed and valued.
