A bit about my approach to therapy

Jorge provides person-centered, trauma-informed, social justice-oriented, and gender-affirming individual therapy that incorporates mindfulness practices. He identifies as a generalist with an eclectic style and incorporates various treatment modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction skills depending on each client’s individual needs

What you can expect from our first session

I consider it a privilege to join people committed to vulnerable and courageous healing journeys. I aim to have sessions with clients that feel grounded and conversational, where it’s okay to cry and laugh in the same breath. I want people to feel safe enough to be their whole, authentic selves. Goals are set in collaboration with clients and constructed to be aligned with their unique values.
