Alexa Gutierrez
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
My clinical approach is multi-disciplinary and rooted in psychodynamic theory, attachment theory, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I also have a background in integrative health and wellness, which can contribute to a more in-depth perspective on treatment.
In addition, my work is informed by the belief and the research that the essence of therapy is the relationship between the client and the therapist. It is this relationship that can encourage true and thorough transformation.
My style is collaborative, genuine, intuitive, direct, and non-judgemental, and I encourage clients to be true to themselves and transparent. Although treatment is based on an individual's needs and goals, principle themes in all treatment are to help one regain one’s confidence and strength and to reinforce one’s resiliency and self-reliance.
