Cyre Guadalupe
Welcome! First and foremost, I would like to congratulate you for taking the initiative to search for support and choosing BetterHelp to serve your needs! It takes courage to seek out counseling services and acknowledge that there is a part of your life you would like to change. Here is a little info about me and what you can expect. My name is Cyré Guadalupe and I’ve been a licensed social worker for the past 5 years in the state of New York. I earned my master of science in social work from Columbia University in 2013 specializing in family, youth and children services. I have experience working with individuals of all ages and specialize in serving adolescents as well as young adults who come from diverse backgrounds and are experiencing a wide array of challenges. Much of my experience has been working with individuals who are struggling with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and trauma. My therapeutic style is client-centered and I utilize a strengths-based approach to engage and motivate clients to achieve their goals and overcome any barriers to success as well as develop coping mechanisms to manage daily stressors. I primarily use evidence-based techniques including cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused counseling. However, I will explore other treatment modalities that best suites my client’s needs. The feedback I receive from clients is that they find me to be warm, approachable, nonjudgmental and supportive. I believe that it is essential to have someone outside of your immediate circle to offer honest and unbiased support and I hope to be that person for you! I want us to be collaborators along this journey and ensure we are making progress on goals that you have for yourself. Together, we’ll work to address whatever challenges you are experiencing and help you learn more about yourself and your intrapersonal awareness. I can connect with you in the format you feel most comfortable whether it be via video, phone or text. I am available in the evenings and on the weekends but I check messages at least twice a day, all seven days of the week. Thank you for taking the time to read more about me and I look forward to working with you!
