About Me
Hello I am Genesis Espinoza. First and foremost, thank you for stopping by my page! I look forward to working with you. I have experience working with children (ages 4-12), adolescents (13-17), and adults (18-65) struggling with Autism Spectrum Disorders, victims of crime (domestic violence and sexual abuse), individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Professional Background
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist (#110254) from the San Fernando Valley. My office is located in San Fernando, California. I graduated from UC Irvine with a B.A. in Psychology and Social behavior in 2011. I obtained my M.A. in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University in 2015. I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Individual Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (ICBT), MAP (Managing and Adaptive Practice), Seeking Safety, and Crisis Oriented Recovery (CORS).
Additionally, I have been trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR) and Brainspotting therapy in order to help individuals heal from traumatic memories and experiences. I am certified in Brainspotting. Furthermore, I have completed an externship in Emotionally Focused Couple's Therapy (EFT) in order to help couples improve communication and help increase bonding and connection. Last but not least, I also have experience working as an ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis) therapist for children with Autism and Intellectual Disability.
Personally
I am a warm and kind-hearted individual that appreciates humor, randomness, laughter, and authenticity. I love to go to the beach, swim, and dance Zumba. I also own a bunny and a puppy. I love to help others and look forward to helping you on your journey through life's obstacles and to provide the space to help you heal and grow from pain.
