Kiké provides virtual therapy in Pennsylvania for children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, identity and self-exploration, family conflict, communication, and emotional regulation.

 

She is currently a first-year graduate student in School and Mental Health Counseling at the University of Pennsylvania. During the day, she works as a high school counselor for 9th and 11th graders. Kiké enjoys seeing her students work hard to reach a goal they set. This past school year, she worked with 12th graders to break the school's all-time scholarship record and make post-secondary decisions that work best for them.

 

She has always been drawn to helping others navigate challenges, especially when it comes to education and personal growth. Working as a social worker allowed her to navigate pointing her clients to emotional, life transitions, academic, and financial resources. She has a passion for empowering clients to meet basic needs and empowering them to navigate concrete supports.

 

She hopes to gain more insight into therapy and improve her knowledge of therapeutic approaches through practice during her internship at Queen Village Therapy, and she is especially drawn to evidence-based therapy, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), person centered, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

 

Her therapy style is collaborative; she prioritizes building relationships with clients by creating a space of understanding, listening, and meeting clients where they are.
