Juan F. Madrazo M.A.
I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Therapist and Mental Health Consultant in San Diego, California. I provide therapy for children, adolescents, adults, and couples. I specialize in the treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Mood Disorders such as Depression, Bi-polar Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Panic Disorder, and Adjustment Disorder. I am experienced in the treatment of these and other disorders through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
I currently provide therapy at San Diego Psychological Center (SDPC) under the supervision of the internationally recognized Psychologist Dr. Deisy C. Boscan Ph.D. I am certified by the State of California to provide clinical psychological services and as a Mental Health Consultant in compliance with the State Law. While at SDPC, I have the privilege to provide psychotherapy to Veterans and the family members of enlisted men and women of the armed services paid by Tri-Care and Tri-West.
I am also recognized by the Victims of Crime Program of the Department of Justice to provide therapy to victims of violence and crime. At my practice at SDPC, I also treat individuals that suffer from addiction and other obsessive compulsive behaviors.
In addition to my private practice at SDPC, I provide through the Center, services to several Head Start Centers in the northern San Diego area. These include individual and group behavioral observations of children between 3 and 5 years old, consultations with teachers and parents, mental health action plans and referrals to different providers.
My previous clinical experience includes Mental Health Services to specific populations. These experiences have included behavioral and developmental evaluations of individuals with Pervasive Developmental Disorders like Autism, Aspergers and Mental Retardation among others. These services were contracted by Regional Centers of San Diego through a certified vendor.
I also worked at a short term residential facility for adults, most of which presented severe mental disorders, destitute and considered being at risk of self harm or harming others. The clinical services that I provided at the facility were intake management, risk assessment and development of action plans to be applied after their discharge.
In the past I have also provided services to other specific populations such as resilient children of low income background that lived at high risk areas in Mexico City. These services included psycho-education and counseling centered in violence prevention, healthy sexuality and prevention drug use and addiction.
Having been born in Mexico and living as a Latino in the United States I am sensitive to cultural factors that may play a role in therapy, that are to be carefully considered while providing services to any person of any cultural or ethnic background.
