Hello! I'm Gustavo Olvera, and I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist (LMFT), serving clients via telehealth throughout the State of California. My long-time approach to therapy is to meet the client where they are and work with them to identify goals that will help them improve their quality of life. I believe that we all have the potential to succeed in life and the potential to achieve greatness. A healthy mind is key to success, as we often have to make critical decisions on a daily basis. I believe we can all achieve our desired goals by increasing and maintaining a positive outlook on our mental health.
My approach while providing therapy is person-centered and goal-oriented, which means I adapt to your needs and personality and what works for you. Other approaches I utilize as part of treatment are Cognitive Behavioral Approaches, CBT, DBT, personal empowerment, trauma-focused, strength and solution-focused techniques, and spirituality to further assist you in achieving desired goals. As part of my therapeutic approach, I also explore childhood issues, trauma, and attachment, as our childhood trauma is often the root of the problems and challenges that we are experiencing today.
