Tree of Life Counseling Center

Welcome to Tree of Life Counseling Center. We believe that deep inside you lie undiscovered strengths and gifts. It is our mission to help you uncover them.

Empowering, culturally responsive therapy for those dedicated to fostering intergenerational healing, advancing racial justice, tapping into their own inner healing potential, and contributing to the collective liberation of our communities. Our mission is to help you discover them. We are dedicated to providing culturally-responsive, social justice-oriented services that differ from conventional

Western medicine, often referred to as non-traditional. Our methods emphasize the connection between the mind and body, acknowledging internalized biases and oppressive beliefs. We help you explore the origins of your challenges and guide you on a path to healing, rather than just recognizing their sources. Essentially, our goal is to tackle the root cause of our community’s pain. Our therapy space aims to be a safe sanctuary where you can freely delve into every aspect of yourself without worrying about judgment. The goal is to cultivate self-awareness, acceptance, and promote our community's collective liberation. Your healing journey not only benefits you but also inspires healing in others just by being your authentic self. We are excited to connect with you!

NEW BLOG POST FROM...

✨Alyssa Cedillo, LPC-S, RPT-S✨
Tree of Life Counseling Center
Check out Alyssa's latest blog post, where she gives voice to the unspoken grief therapists often carry—losses that can’t be named, identities mourned in silence, and goodbyes never given space due to confidentiality, legality, or survival.

Here is a quick sneak peak:
To the therapists navigating grief that hides in the shadows—
The loss that can’t be named for fear of judgment.
The ache of identity denied, the goodbye never given space.
The mourning wrapped in confidentiality, legality, or survival.

A los terapeutas que navegan duelos que se esconden en las sombras—
Las pérdidas que no pueden nombrarse por miedo al juicio.
El dolor de una identidad negada, la despedida que nunca tuvo espacio.
El duelo está envuelto en confidencialidad, legalidad o supervivencia.
The full post is now live on the Tree of Life Counseling Center website!

TREE OF LIFE COUNSELING CENTER

My passion is working with clients struggling with life transitions. I know that no single approach is right for everyone, therefore have been trained in a range of modalities including client centered play therapy, body-oriented therapies, sand tray, cognitive behavioral therapy, and trauma focused CBT. I work with individuals to decrease anxiety and depression, learn new ways to cope, and experience a more fulfilling and enjoyable life.

My clinical experience includes providing therapeutic services in a variety of settings, crisis interventions, early childhood interventions, providing community resources, trauma, anxiety, grief/loss, chronically mentally ill, and developmental delays. I know that when an individual struggles with any of these issues it affects all aspects of life.

You are capable of taking control of your life & making powerful decisions. Today you can take the first step towards a new life & I can assist with this process.
