Collada Counseling
About
I am not an expert. I have skills, knowledges, and experiences just as you do. Therapy is a journey and on this journey I will work collaboratively with you. Throughout our journey we might find a better understanding of the problems, some of their effects, and some things that might contribute. Throughout our work together we will explore values and identify positions regarding different ideas that might allow you to identify preferred directions you would like to travel.
I enjoy when I have created a safe space to process or explore something hard. I find it incredibly powerful when I get to witness someone share a challenge, connect to a preferred way of being, and identify ways to use thier voice. I appreciate hearing stories of moments that are identified as successes and hearing how people might find ways to live in a preferred way.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I offer a free consultation during which we can both explore if we might be a good fit to work together. During that consultation, if we identify we might be a good fit, we can also explore pricing options and appointment times.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I got my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy with an emphasis working with Latino/as at Pepperdine University. My program offered dual licensure so I became a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist as well as Licensed Professional Clinical Counseling. During my years gaining experiences I trained and came to identify as a Narrative therapist though have also received training in DBT, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Harm Reduction.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
My regular fee is $140 and I offer a sliding scale as well.
Currently I have spaces available at $100.
What types of customers have you worked with?
Over the years I have supported people who have struggled with challenges such as anxiety, depression, life changes, and grief. I have supported people while exploring sexual or gender identities. I have worked with people who struggle in relationships, with eating disorders or body images, and with other areas of life such as their career.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
I would encourage them to take advantage of free consultations and to have some questions about what they are looking for in therapy. Some considerations might include if they want a directive or collaborative approach. Otherwise I would encourage them to be honest on if they want to work with someone. Finding the right therapist can be like trying on shoes, you might have to try a couple to identify the right fit.
