Background and approach
He listens closely and helps set clear, manageable goals. His approach draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of acting. He also uses skills from dialectical behavioral ideas to manage strong emotions and reduce impulsive reactions.
A strengths-based outlook helps people notice what is already working and use those abilities to face problems. Treatment plans are individualized and change as needs do. Jose emphasizes small, concrete changes that add up over time.
He helps people cope with addiction concerns and mood challenges by combining skill-building with problem solving. Clients can expect a warm, collaborative tone and straightforward tools to practice between sessions. Jose encourages people to take the next step when they feel ready to make a change.
