New Year…

By Diana Ibarra AMFT With the start of the New Year, I, like others, have thought about what my New Year's resolutions would be. I began scrolling through old pictures of myself to see what I could do to better myself. This only caused me to compare myself to who I was before the pandemic. For most of last year, I kept telling myself that I needed to get back to my pre-pandemic self; I assume I was not the only one. It made me sad to look back at who I used to be and what parts of myself had changed. It[...]

Core Beliefs

By Veronica Salcido-Rodriguez Core beliefs are how we view the world and ourselves, which causes us to respond and react according to those beliefs. They are the values that we hold up and on to. We may believe that “family comes first,” to “treat others the way you want to be treated,” or something as simple as “I can do anything.” We all have our own beliefs, some similar and some different. Whatever the case may be, these beliefs effectively impact us because we move through life according[...]

Writing Your Heart Out!

by: Veronica Salcido-Rodriguez One of my favorite homework strategies in therapy is to Journal. When people think of journaling, they may think of a diary and think diaries are for teenage girls to express their feelings about a crush. While that may true, journaling or a diary can also be so much more than that, and I believe it is. A journal can be the place where you can write about sadness, anger, happiness, or any thought you may have or that you keep thinking about. It is a place where you can expre[...]

Increasing Motivation

Written by: EVELIA SAUCEDO Motivation is a big contributor to accomplishing tasks and other things in our life. When motivation is low, we sometimes have tendencies to struggle with accomplishing tasks. Without a desire to do things, we fall back on having very little, to no drive in accomplishing goals. At times, we may feel energized and ready to embrace the tasks we set out for; however, once we attempt to get started, it becomes difficult to get there. It is important to set a purpose, in order to giv[...]

Benefits of Journaling

Written by: JEAN PIERRE BRAVO, AMFT Journaling is a great way to get in touch with your mind, body and soul. The simple act of writing something down tells your mind it’s important and should probably remember the information. There are many types of journals out there so one must go and experiment with them and see which one is right for them. My favorite way to journal is through an art journal and I also like to encourage the creation of an art journal with most of my clients. There are many benefits[...]

Mindfulness and the Type A Personality

Written by: LUIS MAIMONI, LMFT Many therapists, myself included, preach the virtues of mindfulness and meditation. Like our clients, we are imperfect practitioners. We experience the same frustrations our clients do. I was attempting to remedy the imperfections in my own practice by taking some video training in mindfulness from Jon Kabat-Zinn. Kabat-Zinn defines mindfulness as the awareness that arises from paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, without judgement. His mindfulness-base[...]

How Am I Feeling Today?

Written by: Written by: EVELIA SAUCEDO, MA Identifying how we feel can sometimes be a challenge. Many times, we become so caught up with other surrounding tasks and the challenges in our lives, that we forget about ourselves. Our wellbeing is very important, as it can provide us with the ability to accomplish things and/or function properly. A lot of the times, we are on the go, with very little time stop. Other times, going through life barely making it through the day. We feel tired, we know it is t[...]

Written by: Robert Casas MSW Self-compassion: An effective tool to treat low self-esteem for children, teens and adults (Part 1)  Throughout life we are taught many social constructs and stereotypes that begin to affect of views of self.

What is an Empath

Written by: Dr. DR. CRYSTAL SANCHEZ, PSY.D. Have you ever felt like being around people was overwhelming, but you couldn’t quite pinpoint why? Do you ever feel fatigued in large crowds and prefer to spend time on your own to recharge?  If so, you may be an empath. An empath senses and absorbs other people’s emotions, and or physical sensations (Orloff, 2017). They have trouble filtering out stimulation from their surroundings, which makes them more prone to feeling overwhelmed. Empaths are hig[...]

What is ASMR and How Can it be Therapeutic?

By: Clarice Stout, MA Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is known as a tingly like or static feeling that can be felt on the scalp and can move up and down the back of your neck and or upper spine. Some people do not always get that feeling with ASMR, but it may just also cause a heavy sense of relaxation. In ASMR this sensation comes in response from the gentle stimulus that ASMR has to offer, such as things like whispering voices, head rubs, paper tearing, tapping, and sometimes even eating no[...]
