Siria Guerrero

Thank you for considering me as your therapist. Choosing a therapist is a very personal step and I encourage you to be as selective as possible to find the right fit for you and your needs. My approach is to work beside you to achieve your personal goals and growth, using proven cognitive based strategies and solution focused techniques. I believe that each person deserves to be heard and understood to be able to heal and live their best life. You CAN move forward and find the peace and harmony you seek and deserve. We will work to find your path to a healthier "you".

I enjoy knowing that I can use my empathy and compassion to offer support in challenging times. I believe I have many valuable skills that can help my clients succeed. Being in this profession is one of my greatest joys.

I first would remind myself that therapy is a process, and we need to respect each others times. It is through a kind heart that we can lead the path so that others can take the necessary steps to walk it. The person may have questions, fears and misconceptions that are all valid. Being a good listener can oftentime give you more room to undestand where the hesitation is coming from and that is a great start. I would gently share my possitive experiences with therapy and open the conversation to become more of a mentor, a resource, and ultimate someone who inspires change.

At the beginning of a session, I invite you to share what’s been going on in your life, what’s on your mind, what’s bothering you, or whether there are any goals you’d like to discuss. You’ll be invited to speak openly, I will listen for understanding and may take notes as you speak if necessary. You won’t be criticized, interrupted or judged as you speak. Your conversation will be kept in the strictest confidentiality. This is a special, unique type of conversation in which you can say exactly what you feel—total honesty—without worrying that you’re going to hurt someone’s feelings, damage a relationship, or be penalized in any way. Anything you want—or need—to say is OK. Each session is, essentially, a problem-solving session. You describe your current situation, and your feelings about it, and then guide you through different therapeutic approaches to assist you in trying to resolve that problem so you can move closer to having the life you wish to have.
