June Dean-Villatoro
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Hi, my name is June Dean-Villatoro and i'm a licensed therapist who specializes in helping anxious overachievers, people pleasers, and those navigating difficult life transitions learn how to self-advocate, set boundaries, and manage their mood and anxiety. The majority of my practice focuses on providing clients with the tools they need to manage Anxiety, OCD, Trauma, and Depression. I have a direct, humorous, and holistic approach that utilizes the following modalities: CBT, DBT, ERP, Prolonged exposure therapy, and Psychodynamic.
I am a certified CBT and ERP therapist, and I am passionate about helping my clients regain their power and control over their life and symptoms so that they can heal from the past and live a fulfilling life.
I have first-hand experience navigating life's challenges as a BIPOC. My passion for therapy stems from my own interpersonal struggles navigating mental health in a culture and community that did not recognize or understand mental health as a whole. Through my own mental health journey, I grew passionate about helping other BIPOC find healing.

The relationship between the therapist and the client is the most important factor in providing "successful" therapy.

Whether it is working around issues of substance use, or dealing with anxiety or depression, I seek to help clients achieve their goals and live a better life.
