Xicaly Barajas (She, her)
First Year Practicum Student
Hello! My name is Xiclaly. I earned my bachelor's degree in psychology from Cal Poly Humboldt in 2021 with a minor in Early Childhood Education and currently, I am in my first year of graduate school in the counseling psychology program. I have been working and living in the area for the last 7 years and have experience working with children and adolescents with developmental and intellectual disabilities. Additionally, I have worked with adults facing substance use disorders where I focused on creating a safe and supportive environment for recovery. I am interested in integrating a trauma-informed approach and drawing from other techniques as well such as CBT, ACT, and family systems.
I am passionate about supporting individuals in their journey toward wellness and personal growth and I hope to create a welcoming and non-judgemental space for all students. Outside of school and work, I enjoy spending time with my loved ones (especially my dog), playing cozy games like Animal Crossing, and watching anime!
