Johana Calvo, MT 5489

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

File

I am a Licensed Mental Health Family Therapist and a Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst (BCaBA). In addition, I have extensive experience working with children who experience challenges with social interaction, communication, and restricted or repetitive behaviors. Therefore, I am able to incorporate my experience with Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) when supporting children and families.

Couples, Families and Individuals

I also work with couples, families, and individuals experiencing relationship and emotional challenges. For example, clients may come to therapy for depression, anxiety, trauma, communication difficulties, or intimacy concerns. First, we identify the challenges affecting your life or relationships. Then, we build on your strengths and create achievable goals. As a result, therapy becomes a collaborative process focused on meaningful and practical change.

Autism and Family Support

In particular, I am passionate about bringing together my experience in ABA and Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT). Because Autism Spectrum Disorder can affect both the individual and the family system, I believe support should consider the needs of the entire family. Therefore, my goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based care for families affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder and related neurodevelopmental and behavioral concerns.

Above all, I approach therapy with understanding, compassion, and respect. Ultimately, I want to help individuals and families recognize their strengths, strengthen their relationships, and work toward goals that matter to them.

Terapia Familiar y Apoyo Conductual

Soy Terapeuta Licenciada en Salud Mental Familiar y Analista Asistente de Conducta Certificada por la Junta (BCaBA). Además, tengo amplia experiencia trabajando con niños que presentan desafíos en la interacción social, la comunicación y comportamientos restringidos o repetitivos. Por lo tanto, puedo incorporar mi experiencia en Análisis Conductual Aplicado (ABA) al apoyar a niños y sus familias.

Terapia para Parejas, Familias e Individuos

También trabajo con parejas, familias e individuos que enfrentan dificultades emocionales o en sus relaciones. Por ejemplo, algunos clientes buscan terapia para la depresión, ansiedad, trauma, problemas de comunicación o dificultades con la intimidad. Primero, identificamos los desafíos que están afectando su vida o sus relaciones. Luego, trabajamos juntos para reconocer sus fortalezas y establecer metas alcanzables. Como resultado, la terapia se convierte en un proceso colaborativo enfocado en cambios significativos y prácticos.

Autismo y Apoyo para Familias

En particular, me apasiona combinar mi experiencia en ABA y Terapia Matrimonial y Familiar (MFT). Debido a que el Trastorno del Espectro Autista puede afectar tanto al individuo como a la familia, considero importante brindar apoyo teniendo en cuenta las necesidades de todos. Por lo tanto, mi objetivo es ofrecer atención compasiva y basada en evidencia a familias afectadas por el Trastorno del Espectro Autista y otras dificultades neuroconductuales relacionadas.

Sobre todo, mi enfoque se basa en la comprensión, la compasión y el respeto. Finalmente, quiero ayudar a individuos y familias a reconocer sus fortalezas, mejorar sus relaciones y avanzar hacia las metas que son importantes para ellos.
