Ludivina Acevedo

Ludivina Acevedo, a marriage and family therapist associate, embodies the principles of a 'wounded healer,' believing that pain can lead to growth and understanding. She draws inspiration from her life experiences and strives to live out the values found in Isaiah 61:1-3. Ludivina connects with her clients with compassion, working collaboratively through the counseling process. She provides therapeutic support to women, young adults, couples, families, children, and adolescents, with a particular passion for helping children and teenagers articulate their emotions and navigate their mental health. Understanding the importance of the family system, she actively involves parents and caregivers when appropriate in the therapeutic journey. Ludivina creates a safe and nurturing environment for her clients to process their daily stressors or trauma. Echoing the wisdom of Virginia Satir, she emphasizes that 'the problem is not the problem; coping is the problem,' and is dedicated to helping clients cultivate effective coping skills and gain deeper self-awareness. Utilizing a systemic perspective, she integrates evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) among other valuable interventions.
