Pedro Palafox, Therapist
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, bilingual in English and in Spanish with 15 years of clinical experience working with clients of different ages and ethnic backgrounds. Many of the clients I have worked with have demonstrated symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, situations of domestic violence and abuse as well as low self-esteem. I also have experience working with couples with marital conflict and families with unhealthy communication patterns or psychological trauma. In our therapy work together I will use Psychodynamic and Client-Centered therapeutic interventions while also exploring your needs and own interpretation of what you are experiencing. My background as a therapist has given me many skills for exploring individual situations and problems and ways of working through them. I recognize that each person who comes to therapy is an individual with differing life experiences.
