Aldo Sarellano, MS, LMFT,
About Aldo Sarellano (He/Him)
I truly believe Every behavior has a purpose. This allows me to meet the people I am working with where they are. I utilize a collaborative approach that includes listening without judgment, behavior exploration, and skill building. I am devoted to providing support, understanding, and a safe place for those seeking help with the situations they find themselves in.
I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) licensed marriage and family therapist with 7 years of experience treating depression, anxiety, motivation/goal setting, and trauma. My focus has been on providing services to adolescents/young adults and their families. I am fluent in geek culture (Anime/Manga) and have additional training in school counseling, motivational interviewing, Crisis Oriented Recovery Services, and sensitivity to LGBTQI+ issues. I can help you discover the reason for the behaviors and actions that are causing you distress, then help you build the self-acceptance and appropriate coping skills to overcome the challenges that prompted you to seek assistance.
