My ideal client would have a pattern of dysfunctional relationships and general anxiety or depression. Issues may include fear of abandonment or avoidance of feeling your feelings. Struggling to perform everyday tasks due to concern over small details and trouble sleeping may also be a symptom. Therapy may be helpful if you are seeking to understand yourself better and feel competent again.
I am an attachment trauma therapist. My specialty is processing past trauma through somatic and mindful healing. I am LGBTIA+ friendly, Non-judgemental, trauma-informed, compassionate therapist.
I believe the healing work therapy creates is a topsy-turvy journey and my ultimate goal is for you to get the very best because you deserve it. Feeling comfortable with the therapist you choose is a HUGE part of healing! Please feel free to explore my website for more details: www.rbenavidezlmft.com. I'd love to connect and talk further with you.
