Dr. Trevino is a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in psychoanalytic psychotherapy for individuals and couples. His approach to therapy involves understanding how difficult experiences from our past affects the way we feel and behave in the present. Our past experiences are often the reason we sometimes struggle with the same emotional and relationship problems throughout life. It is only through understanding our past struggles can we expect to achieve a lasting and meaningful change in the present.
Dr. Trevino emphasizes the development of a collaborative relationship between therapist and client, while fostering a safe, nonjudgmental environment that gives people the freedom to explore and understand their feelings and thoughts. He finds the collaborative relationship to be an essential component in helping people develop their inner strength, overcome their difficulties, and experience a genuine sense of well-being. Dr. Trevino is married with an nine-year-old daughter, six-year-old son and is an avid fan of documentaries.
