Meet Fabiola Saucedo

As a first-generation Mexican Immigrant in my thirties, I have lived experience of feeling like I am “neither from here nor from there” and of being impacted by cultural and societal pressures to assimilate quickly. My identity as a bicultural therapist enables me to hold values from multiple cultures and give space for integration and coexisting.

I work best with clients who are aware of intergenerational trauma and desire to heal unhealthy patterns and cycles. They desire to set healthy boundaries with family and loved ones while having fulfilling and loving relationships. They appreciate self-sufficiency and independence but also want to celebrate their cultural roots and honor their family values.

I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS). I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker #103773, supervised by Sharon Yu, LMFT #50028

You are trying out therapy for the first time or transitioning back after a break.

You suspect there are origins to your trauma. You have thought spirals and resonate with avoidantly attached. What brings you into therapy is being in one too many mediocre relationships. You want to know you are enough and have inherent value without diminishing yourself. 

If this is your first time in or re-entry to therapy, you may want to know: 

  • Therapy can help me discern what is a "red flag" and what is good intuition

  • Therapy can help me realize that a healthy and successful relationship also belongs to me

  • Therapy can help me have steady confidence and the capacity to trust myself

  • Therapy can help me identify and meet my own needs and desires

 

Many of my clients are working through intergenerational conflicts where their values of being independent oppose their values of loyalty to the family. Often expected to be the caretaker and nurturer of the family, my clients want to break free from unquestioned devotion to family and explore their individual dreams and goals. Therapy with me means stepping out of the cycle of marianismo in her family, where she is often invisible and dismissed and instead celebrates her authenticity without apologizing for it.
