Over 30 Years Experience Solution Focused Psychotherapy Bi-Lingual/Bi-Cultural: Spanish

*Email Me

My name is Raphael C. Serrano, MFT. I’ve been a licensed psychotherapist for over 18 years. I’m bilingual in Spanish and English. I have in-depth working knowledge in psychotherapy and extensive applied experience in client solution-based therapeutic approaches.

As you continue reading you will see technical terms that essentially explain the human experience and a caring nature. My years of training and the methods at my disposal are at your service. These include established credentials in Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD). I am certified in alcohol and drug addiction assessment and treatment as well as work performance issues. I’m a strong diagnostician and have extensive experience in treating serious mental illness (like bipolar disorder, depression, psychosis, etc).

During my professional career I have successfully treated individuals, couples, families and adolescents. At times I work with children in the context of the family.

In my work I use an integrated multi-modal treatment approach that is rooted in evidence-based psychotherapeutic techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and family systems. I’m a past adjunct professor in the field of psychotherapy at Antioch University.

Finally, I realize that selecting a psychotherapist is a deep personal experience and therefore if I can be of help in the process and answer any questions, please feel free to give me a call at (805) 448-7732.
