Welcome! My name is Astrid. I am a Mexican cisgender woman passionate about creating a space that fosters vulnerability, safety, community, and love. I graduated from Arizona State University with a bachelor’s in Psychology and Criminal Justice, shortly after, received my Master’s in Social Work. As a former community organizer, I understand the impacts of oppressive systems and the value in community to resist against those systems. Therefore, in my work, I focus and center safety, empowerment, compassion, and community.
Throughout my professional and personal life, I have gained experience working closely with trauma to understand the impacts and ways to heal. In my previous work, I provided bi-lingual therapy to sex trafficking and domestic violence survivors utilizing an empowerment approach through a trauma-informed lens. As I moved forward with my career, I was presented with the opportunity to work with individuals and couples experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and large life transitions. I utilize interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Parts Work, Mindfulness-Based Interventions and the Gottman Method to help my clients reach their therapy goals. In individual therapy, I will facilitate a space where you feel comfortable to explore your authentic self, as it is important to me you feel affirmed, seen, heard, and understood. In couple’s therapy, I will function as a supporting role in your relationship by providing the space and tools to address issues that may be preventing a healthy and thriving relationship such as communication, intimacy, and trust. By building our therapeutic relationship, I will be there to support you and help promote change to create a life fulfilling to you.
During my freetime, I love spending my time with my family, weight lifting, listening to music, and pouring into my interests such as gardening and fashion. As well, I am a proud dog mom to my pitbull Apollo and english bulldog Louie. If you feel this may be a good fit, you can email or book through our site to schedule a free ten-minute consultation. I look forward to hearing from you!

Bienvenidos! Mi nombre es Astrid. Soy una mujer cisgénero mexicana apasionada por crear un espacio que fomente la vulnerabilidad, la seguridad, la comunidad y el amor. Me gradué de la Universidad Estatal de Arizona con una licenciatura en Psicología y Justicia Penal, poco después, recibí mi Maestría en Trabajo Social. Como antigua organizadora comunitaria, entiendo los impactos de los sistemas opresivos y el valor de la comunidad para resistir contra esos sistemas. Por lo tanto, en mi trabajo, me centro en la seguridad, el empoderamiento, la compasión y la comunidad.
A lo largo de mi vida profesional y personal, he adquirido experiencia trabajando estrechamente con el trauma para comprender los impactos y las formas de sanar. En mi trabajo anterior, proporcioné terapia bilingue a sobrevivientes de tráfico sexual y violencia doméstica utilizando un enfoque de empoderamiento a través de una lente informada sobre el trauma. A medida que avanzaba en mi carrera, se me presentó la oportunidad de trabajar con individuos y parejas que experimentan depresión, ansiedad, problemas de relación, y grandes transiciones de la vida. Utilizo intervenciones como la Terapia Cognitiva Conductual (TCC), Terapia de Aceptación y Compromiso (ACT), Terapia Dialéctica Conductual (TDC), Trabajo de Partes, Intervenciones Basadas en Mindfulness y el Método Gottman para ayudar a mis clientes a alcanzar sus objetivos terapéuticos. En terapia individual, facilitaré un espacio en el que te sientas cómodo para explorar tu auténtico yo, ya que para mí es importante que te sientas afirmado, visto, escuchado y comprendido. En la terapia de pareja, voy a funcionar como un papel de apoyo en su relación, proporcionando el espacio y las herramientas para abordar las cuestiones que pueden estar impidiendo una relación sana y próspera como la comunicación, la intimidad y la confianza. Construyendo nuestra relación terapéutica, estaré allí para apoyar y ayudar a promover el cambio para crear una vida satisfactoria para usted.
En mi tiempo libre, me encanta pasar tiempo con mi familia, levantar pesas, escuchar música y dedicarme a mis aficiones, como la jardinería y la moda. Además, soy una orgullosa mamá de mi pitbull Apollo y mi bulldog inglés Louie. Si usted siente que esto puede ser un buen ajuste, usted puede enviar por correo electrónico o reservar a través de nuestro sitio para programar una consulta gratuita de diez minutos. ¡Espero con interés escuchar de usted!
Con mucho cariño,
Astrid Pizarro
