Regina Guzman, LCSW

I help adults understand not only what they’re struggling with, but what may be happening beneath it. My approach integrates traditional psychotherapy with deeper exploration of patterns, the nervous system, and the mind-body connection—with space for spirituality when meaningful to you.

Sometimes you can understand exactly why you feel the way you do and still find yourself repeating the same patterns. You may know what needs to change, yet something underneath keeps pulling you back into familiar ways of thinking, responding, or relating.

This is often where I begin.

I’m Regina Guzman, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 14 years of experience in the mental health field. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, chronic stress, and significant life transitions. I also work with people who may be functioning well on the outside but recognize that something internally needs attention or change.

My approach goes beyond simply talking about what happened during the week. Together, we become curious about what is underneath the symptoms—the beliefs you carry, emotional patterns you have developed, experiences that shaped you, and the ways your mind and nervous system have learned to protect you.

Depending on your needs, our work may include CBT, DBT, IFS-informed exploration, trauma-informed therapy, somatic and nervous system awareness, mindfulness, and clinical hypnotherapy. Rather than fitting you into one therapeutic model, I draw from different approaches to meet you where you are and help us understand the different layers of what you are experiencing.

I also recognize that healing and personal growth do not always fit neatly within the boundaries of traditional psychology. For some people, questions about meaning, faith, intuition, purpose, or spirituality naturally become part of the therapeutic process. When these areas are meaningful to you, there is room for them here. You do not need to hold any particular spiritual or religious beliefs, and spirituality never has to be part of our work.

My role is not to tell you who you should become or give you all the answers. I see therapy as a collaborative process that helps you develop greater awareness of yourself, recognize what is within your control, and make choices that are more aligned with the life you want to create.

At times, our work may be supportive and reflective. At other times, I may gently challenge a familiar way of thinking or help you notice something you haven’t considered before. My style is compassionate and grounded, but also active and engaged. I want our work together to lead to insight that extends beyond the therapy room.

I offer in-person psychotherapy in Claremont and online therapy throughout California and Arizona.

If you have reached a point where simply understanding the problem no longer feels like enough, therapy can become a place to explore what is underneath it—and begin creating change from there.
