Arturo Figueroa, LCSW

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, addiction, or relationship problems? These challenges can be hard, but you don't have to navigate them alone. I’m passionate about providing effective help and healing to individuals, couples, and families who are going through difficult times.

Together, we will assess your experience with these challenges and we'll uncover core negative patterns that are obstructing you from lasting healing, peace, and loving connections with others. The core idea behind CBT is that your thoughts create your feelings, which in turn guide your responses, behavior, and communication. We will examine your thoughts and how they might be impacting you negatively. We'll then apply tools that have demonstrated to be effective in defeating those thoughts and achieving your goals.

Through TEAM CBT, I use effective techniques to help you understand that while we cannot change the facts, we can control our thoughts about them and how we respond to them.

TEAM-CBT is a collaborative approach involving the following elements: 

• Testing - to track the progress we'll make in your treatment and to ensure we're targeting your specific needs.
• Empathy - to ensure you're feeling heard and understood and to evaluate how well we're working together at addressing your concerns.
• Agenda Setting - to focus every treatment session on the issues that matter most to you and to remain intentional with our time and work.
• Methods - to equip you with powerful skills that will make you increasingly self-sufficient and effective at achieving lasting healing, peace, and loving connections with your loved ones.

With over 17 years of experience working as a psychotherapist, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals overcome significant life challenges. I have worked extensively with diverse populations, providing professional guidance and effective treatment to those in need. I've been especially effective and trained in working with individuals who are in a crisis situation or clients whose symptoms are complicated by past trauma experiences including physical abuse, emotional/psychological abuse, sexual abuse, loss, exploitation, or violence. Another very common and painful set of problems that I embrace helping clients to navigate are sex and love addictions. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, addiction, or relationship problems, I can help.

Within a few sessions, you will start to experience significant relief and will be equipped with new skills to make lasting changes that bring joy and fulfillment. Together, we will find meaning in your life, discover your strengths, and uncover your resilient nature using creative approaches tailored to your unique situation.
