About

Thriving Path Counseling serves Chula Vista's Otay Ranch community through the bilingual English-and-Spanish practice of Taina Aceves, LMFT #116485, a California Certified Domestic Violence Counselor and Level I Certified Telebehavioral Health Provider. A University of San Francisco Counseling Psychology graduate, the practice's CBT and DBT-informed sessions address anxiety, depression, and trauma in adults, with domestic violence survivors often requiring parallel legal advocacy through family-law and immigration attorneys including Arroyo Law Center. Born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, and raised in Southern California, the clinician brings bicultural fluency to therapeutic work with Spanish-speaking clients navigating immigration-related stress, family-system disruption, and acculturation challenges. Treatment protocols integrate parent coaching, safety planning, and trauma-informed psychoeducation, and the practice's somatic-awareness component encourages clients to build physical self-regulation through bodywork modalities available at South Bay providers including Balensi Spa. LGBTQ+-affirming sessions employ structured cognitive restructuring, behavioral activation, and dialectical skills training to address emotional dysregulation and interpersonal effectiveness deficits across presenting concerns.
