Hello, my name is Sara Vazquez-Cutler and I am a first-generation Latina. My pronouns are she/her/they and I am a member of the LGBTQIA+ community. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I received my Master of Science in Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling through CSU Fresno. I have been working in the psychotherapy field for the past 5 years as an MFT trainee, registered associate MFT, and now as a Licensed MFT. I view therapy as a collaborative approach between you and me working toward the same goals. I approach my work this way as you are more than a diagnosis and more than the current crisis you may be experiencing.
My approach
I use an integrative approach to counseling which includes Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Play Therapy, Solution Focused, Family Systems, and Mindfulness.
My focus
I am glad to provide psychotherapeutic services in English and/or Spanish to children, adults, couples, and families. I offer services to support my clients with processing trauma/complex trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, relational concerns, life adjustments, gender identity issues, LGBTQIA+ concerns, and support with affirming care.
My communication style
I strive to help my clients as humans first and work together as therapeutic partners. My hope is to provide a safe and affirming space as you work through your therapeutic journey as your most authentic self.
My journey to mental healthcare
My own mental health and experience with therapy brought me to this career along with witnessing others' mental health. I care deeply about helping people get in connection and attunement to themselves and their emotions while understanding that there are many systemic issues impacting your well-being.
My goals for you
Collaborative goal setting which incorporates your goals for therapy integrated with appropriate treatment goals based on diagnosis and needs.
My first session with you
The first session is about us setting the tone, history taking, and getting to know what brings you to therapy. I will guide you with open-ended questions and you will tell me the top three (3) changes/goals/things you want to get out of therapy.
