About

Compassionately Healing Emotional Wounds ~ Curando heridas emocionales

Finding the right therapist can make it easier to begin making sense of what you’re going through. I’m Ariel Escobedo, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 19 years of experience helping adults navigate anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, life transitions, workplace stress, and patterns of self-criticism or feeling stuck. My style is warm, collaborative, curious, and engaged. Rather than simply focusing on symptoms, I help clients understand what may be happening beneath them—the experiences, emotions, beliefs, and patterns that have developed over time and may continue to influence how they feel about themselves and relate to others. Internal Family Systems (IFS) is central to my work. IFS offers a compassionate way of understanding the different “parts” of ourselves, including parts that may become anxious, critical, overwhelmed, avoidant, or protective. Instead of judging or fighting these parts, we work together to understand what they are trying to protect and help you develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself. I also integrate attachment-based, strengths-based, cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, and other evidence-informed approaches based on your individual needs. Therapy with me is not one-size-fits-all. Some clients come wanting relief from anxiety or stress. Others want to understand recurring relationship patterns, heal from difficult experiences, navigate a major transition, or feel more grounded and connected to themselves. As a bilingual English/Spanish therapist, I welcome clients from diverse cultural backgrounds, identities, and life experiences. I strive to create an inclusive space where you can speak openly, explore difficult experiences without judgment, and move toward meaningful and lasting change. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Southern California and have worked in mental health since 2002. I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California since 2007 and am also licensed in Nevada and New York. I provide telehealth therapy to adults located in California, Nevada, and New York. If you’re considering therapy and would like to see whether we might be a good fit, I welcome you to request a consultation. Español Encontrar al terapeuta adecuado puede facilitar que comiences a comprender lo que estás viviendo. Soy Ariel Escobedo, trabajador social clínico licenciado (LCSW), con más de 19 años de experiencia ayudando a adultos que enfrentan ansiedad, trauma, duelo, dificultades en sus relaciones, transiciones importantes de la vida, estrés laboral y patrones de autocrítica o de sentirse estancados. Mi estilo terapéutico es cálido, colaborativo, curioso y participativo. En lugar de enfocarnos solamente en los síntomas, ayudo a mis clientes a comprender lo que puede estar ocurriendo debajo de ellos: las experiencias, emociones, creencias y patrones que se han desarrollado a lo largo del tiempo y que pueden seguir influyendo en cómo se sienten consigo mismos y en cómo se relacionan con los demás. El modelo de Sistemas de Familia Interna (Internal Family Systems, IFS) es un componente central de mi trabajo. IFS ofrece una manera compasiva de comprender las diferentes “partes” de nosotros mismos, incluidas aquellas que pueden sentirse ansiosas, críticas, abrumadas, distantes o protectoras. En vez de juzgar o luchar contra estas partes, trabajamos juntos para comprender qué están tratando de proteger y desarrollar una relación más compasiva contigo mismo. También integro enfoques basados en el apego, las fortalezas, la terapia cognitivo-conductual, el mindfulness y otras intervenciones basadas en la evidencia, según tus necesidades individuales. La terapia conmigo no sigue una fórmula única. Algunas personas buscan alivio de la ansiedad o del estrés. Otras quieren comprender patrones recurrentes en sus relaciones, sanar experiencias difíciles, afrontar una transición importante o simplemente sentirse más centradas y conectadas consigo mismas. Como terapeuta bilingüe en inglés y español, doy la bienvenida a personas de diversos orígenes culturales, identidades y experiencias de vida. Mi objetivo es ofrecer un espacio inclusivo donde puedas hablar con libertad, explorar experiencias difíciles sin sentirte juzgado y avanzar hacia cambios significativos y duraderos. Obtuve mi maestría en trabajo social en la University of Southern California y trabajo en el campo de la salud mental desde 2002. Soy trabajador social clínico licenciado en California desde 2007 y también cuento con licencias profesionales en Nevada y Nueva York. Ofrezco psicoterapia por telemedicina a adultos que se encuentran en California, Nevada y Nueva York. Si estás considerando iniciar terapia y quieres saber si podríamos trabajar bien juntos, te invito a solicitar una consulta.
