Alicia Cervantes, LCSW

---

Hello my name is Alicia Cervantes, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 4 years of experience in the mental health field. I specialize in providing services on an individual basis, in both English and Spanish. 

Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of settings, including community mental health centers, hospitals, and residential work recovery programs. I have a  background in evidence based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate complex emotional landscapes and achieve meaningful change.

I utilize a compassionate, client-centered approach, integrating techniques from DBT, CPT, and MI to tailor therapy to each individual's needs. This multifaceted approach focuses on building skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, while also addressing unhelpful cognitive patterns and fostering intrinsic motivation for personal growth. 

My approach is rooted in empathy and collaboration, providing a safe and supportive space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I work with individuals to address a variety of challenges including anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions, helping clients build resilience, gain insight, and foster positive change. My goal is to empower clients to achieve lasting mental well-being and lead fulfilling lives.
