Andrea Guido (she/her/hers)

I have been thoroughly trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which can be used for many different types of symptoms and diagnosis, but is most commonly used to treat depression and anxiety disorders. I am also a certified provider in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT), an evidence-based practice. TFCBT incorporates the use of various coping skills and exposure therapy into the CBT model, and has been proven effective for treating symptoms of unresolved trauma.

I have trained for many years under the attachment theory framework, as it applies to treating child-parent relationships as well as how early attachment can affect adults throughout their lives. As a therapist, I use attachment theory in my relationships with clients so that they know they are not alone.

I have been practicing meditation and yoga for many years now, and have personally seen how these practices can transform fear and doubt into self-awareness and self-love. I have completed my yoga teacher training at Bhakti Yoga Shala and have led chanting practices in the yoga community for quite some time. I also study Eastern philosophies and spirituality and incorporate them into my psychotherapy sessions for those who are open and interested in learning more.

I provide parents with the support they need in order to be the best versions of themselves. I am a certified provider of the Positive Parenting Program, and I have 14+ years of experience in providing therapy to children and their families. Much of my post-graduate training has been in the areas of assisting parents in the challenging post-partum period and maternal mental health. I have also provided mental health services to infants and toddlers.

I have been providing psychotherapy to people with depression symptoms for 14+ years. I've completed a 9 month training in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy at Harbor UCLA, which focuses on learning to identify and manage one's automatic thoughts and core beliefs in order to decrease depression. I also have training for depression symptoms in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Radical Acceptance, yoga and mindfulness.

I have been providing psychotherapy to people with anxiety and trauma/PTSD symptoms for 14+ years. I've completed a 9 month training in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy at Harbor UCLA, which focuses on learning to identify and manage one's automatic thoughts and core beliefs in order to decrease anxiety/trauma. I also use yoga and mindfulness skills to help people decrease their anxiety, and provide exposure therapy to people who want help moving past traumatic experiences.
