Hi, I am Rafael Cazares, and I created this practice as a dedicated clinical home for fellow pioneers. Therapy is a space for meaningful exploration and purposeful action. My approach is built for Cycle Breakers who are doing the brave work of ending old patterns while building a new legacy. I look at the whole picture of your life through four core areas to ensure the changes you make are deep and sustainable.

  • The Mind and Psychological Flexibility:

    Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I help you identify where your mind gets stuck in overthinking or avoidance. We train your brain to stop fighting your thoughts and start moving toward what truly matters to you.

  • The Body and Biological Safety:

    Because anxiety and complex trauma live in your nervous system, I focus on how your body carries the weight of your history. By addressing symptoms like chest tightness and irritability, we work to move you back to a place of calm and safety.

  • The Connection and Relational Health:

    I map how your history impacts your current relationships so we can build new ways of connecting that foster intimacy instead of defensiveness.

  • The Context and Socio-Cultural Roots:

    You do not exist in a vacuum. I honor the heritage, education, and environments that shaped you as we look at how external expectations impact your well-being today.

The Integrated Toolkit

While Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is the foundation of my work, I believe in providing you with practical tools for your daily life. I integrate skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) to give you a concrete toolkit for real-time relief. This ensures you have the skills to manage the present while we do the deeper work of evolving your future.
