Antonio Alarcon, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Phoenix AZ
Following initial assessment/diagnostics to ensure that I accurately understand and reflect client specific needs, treatment begins with brief psychoeducation and practical application of contemplative practices (mindfulness meditation and self-compassion) as a means to both provide immediate relief and lay the ground work for further inquiry into the unconscious mind.
Through the process of actively engaging contemplative practices and psychoanalytic inquiry, clients learn how to respond to moments of mental/emotional reaction with equanimity in a way that encourages freedom, peace, and happiness.
