Exploring Life & Business with Lucy Guadalupe of Therapy With Lucy

Today, we’d like to introduce you to Lucy Guadalupe.

Hi Lucy, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for sharing your story with us – to start, maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers.
I am currently a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy. I have advanced training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Brainspotting, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I have grown a passion for working hands-on with individuals of all ages, couples, and families over the last eight years.

My experience has varied from working in child education to working as a suicide crisis responder and working in private practice. From this, I have developed a deeper understanding of human attachment, emotion, trauma, depression, and anxiety, ranging from all ages. I became interested in human experiences and interactions when I could process and understand the significance they hold in daily life and within all relationships. I find it crucial to create a safe, collaborative, and comfortable environment for my clients to offer them useful support through life’s daily challenges.

My therapeutic approach is supporting clients through healing and bonding. I am a strong believer that becoming the best version of yourself is absolutely achievable with the right kind of support and tools. I find joy in helping clients recognize their strengths and then utilize these skills in their daily lives. I emphasize being emotionally present, nonjudgmental, and accepting of anyone who chooses to pursue working with me.

Let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what challenges have you had to overcome?
Being a mental health professional absolutely comes with challenging days. Because I am working with a high level of emotion and vulnerability, it can be difficult to separate myself emotionally from my clients and their own experiences.

Although this is what I believe makes me a high-quality therapist, I care. My client’s well-being is important to me, and I value holding a safe, validating, and understanding place for my clients to explore and process whatever they are experiencing.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next, you can tell us a bit more about your business.
