Thomás (he/him/they/them) worked in health and social services as administrative staff before deciding to become a counselor. He received a Master’s Degree in Professional Mental Health Counseling from Lewis and Clark Graduate School of Education and Counseling.
“My clinical approach is collaborative and draws from a variety of philosophies and modalities. I ultimately see you, the client, as the expert in your life. I’m here to help guide and support you along the way. The main modality I use is Emotion-Focused Therapy for Individuals and Couples, I also use Narrative therapy and Gottman Couples Therapy. I like to draw from DBT and CBT when it comes to skills work. I use a trauma-informed approach and consider my theoretical orientation to be grounded in tenets of multiculturalism and social justice.
I work with adults, couples, polyamorous relationships and families. I especially appreciate working with people in their 20s and older adults. I have extensive experience working with the LGBTQ community and I am particularly dedicated to providing transgender affirming healthcare. I speak English and Spanish fluently and offer services in both through our Levantar program.”
