Hello! I’m Brenda Guerrero and I am a licensed professional counselor who works with teens and adults of all ages as they adapt to life’s challenges. I view counseling as a collaborative process of self-discovery and growth and my role as one of walking beside you on your journey – accompanying you as you discover new ways to connect to your strengths and find healing. I will offer encouragement, support, and challenge to help you achieve your optimal level of holistic wellness.
I have earned a list of formal credentials: a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology; a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology (my training to become a licensed professional counselor); a Master’s and Doctoral degree in Developmental Psychology with a Graduate Certificate in Gerontology; and advanced professional certification as a Fellow in Thanatology (Specialist in Death, Dying and Grief). While my formal credentials afford me the privilege of accompanying you through your therapeutic growth process, I believe my ability to develop a genuine, safe, trusting, collaborative, and warm therapeutic relationship is as important as my credentials in helping you overcome challenges associated with:
*anxiety conditions including generalized anxiety, panic, social anxiety, agoraphobia
*mood conditions such as depression, bipolar I & II, cyclothymia and dysthymia
*anger and emotional regulation
*stress
*mind-body health
*coping skills
*burnout, including occupational and family caregiver burnout
*loss, grief, and bereavement
*life-limiting illness
*ADHD
*Autism
*developmental transitions of all age groups
*sleep disorders
*low self-esteem
*self-harm
*multicultural concerns
*sexuality
*behavioral issues
*relationship concerns including divorce, parenting, family conflict
The above list is not exhaustive so if you would like to know if I can competently address your specific needs please reach out with your inquiry.
