I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) licensed in Washington State with over 8 years of experience working in both private practice, community mental health, and corrections. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma, domestic violence, substance use, guilt and shame, co-dependency, personality disorders, and women's issues. I find that I connect well with women clients ranging in age from 19 - 50. I have helped women from all walks of life find their power and clarity about their purpose, passion, and values. I worked with professional women, housewives, single women, and young women enrolled in college. This group was not one that I pursued intentionally in my clinical work but I realized very early on that I am uniquely experienced to empathize and support women from several walks of life! My counseling style is direct, warm and interactive. I am gifted at identifying the strengths of my clients and believe that promoting the strengths has a profound positive impact on their emotional growth and a strengthening of self-worth. I approach clients with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I do not believe in wasting my client's time. I am goal directed and solution focused. I will be open and direct about my clinical impressions in an effort to help you reach your goals and feel empowered to personal change and growth. In the process of open, honest and direct communication, it is common for my client's to find their power, purpose, and strength. It is a wonderful process to witness transformation! I utilize cognitive-behavioral, family system's theory, humanistic, positive psychology, mindfulness, and existential approaches to therapy. I am trained and certified to offer trauma therapy, substance use treatment, and family therapy, just to name a few. I am well versed on best practice approaches to the specific disorders I specializing in treating. I approach treatment planning individually keeping in mind the respective needs of my clients and feel all areas of therapy are most effective when approached as a collaborative process. If you are ready to begin working to be your best self and to embark on your journey of self-exploration, I am ready to be your guide in the process! I look forward to working with you!

Hello, my name is Esteban Angel Cabrera. I am a licensed mental health counselor with over two decades of experience in a plethora of services that includes academia and community health providers. As a son of a migrant seasonal farm working family, I have experienced many challenges in my life. I longed for a sense of normalcy and stability. I learned long ago that these don't come easy or are handed to you. It can be very difficult to manage everyday life challenges let alone any major traumatic events. I am encouraged by a quote I learned long ago "never let yesterday's disappointments overshadow tomorrow's dream be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might." I believe in making connection with others through validation, encouragement and guidance. We all have struggles in our lives and I believe that struggles are not failures but it means you are succeeding in "not giving up!" The counseling experience begins with developing a safe and consistent rapport that allows the counselor and client the space to grow into a healthy therapeutic alliance. Therapy can be quite difficult and having a safe environment to talk about and process life's difficulties is so very important. I am excited in working with you to help you experience the great things that life has to offer you.

It's not easy asking for help and therapy can seem pretty intimidating. It doesn't have to be, though. Sometimes, it's nice to just talk to a non-friend/relative to get a fresh re-frame, hear some "professional" advice , or just vent about your day. I've been on both sides of the couch and used these learning experiences to bring insight, humor, and a friendly approach to my work.

Life can sometimes be difficult and surprising. There are ebbs and flows. The seasons of our life hold challenges, new issues arise, and we are sometimes confused.

What is true for you, your reality, is our starting point toward achieving goals. Counseling is a tool that helps us get current with our life.
