Patricia M. Gutierrez, LMFT

Trained in EMDR, TF-CBT, CPP, and utilizing a trauma informed approach, I specialize in working with symptoms related to trauma (current or past), attachment, depression and anxiety in children, adolescents and adults. As well as address behavioral difficulties in children and/or adolescents. I meet clients where they are at and tailor treatment plans to their current needs, and ensure that I am providing quality care to all of my clients. I am bilingual (English and Spanish) and can fluently use Spanish in my sessions if needed and requested by a client.

I see therapy as a partnership between the client and the therapist, with each having an important role. My goal is to help clients identify current challenges, learn new ways of coping, engaging and interacting, and empower clients to make meaningful changes. My work is person-centered and collaborative to ensure that the treatment clients receive is tailored to their current needs. I promote an empathic and safe space for all clients to ensure they feel safe to share their stories and feel heard. I assist my clients in processing difficult situations and experiences, identify challenges and unhelpful patterns of thinking to help them identify new ways of coping and promote growth. I am honored that you are considering starting treatment with me and hope that we can have an opportunity to consult to ensure we are the right fit for each other.
